Distance from a point and line

Answer how you got that "root2" on the eqn.explain detail

It wasn't a good idea starting a new thread to continue asking in the same post. Few would know what you're talking about. I assume you are referring to:

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/mathem...la-216527.html

The formula for the distance from a point to a line is $d=\frac{|Ax_{0}+By_{0}+C|}{\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}}}$

In that event, the $\sqrt{2}$ comes from the coefficients of the line equation you were given.

$x-y+5$ . The coefficients of x and y are 1 and -1, respectively. $\sqrt{1^{2}+(-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{2}$

Please, if this has been of help, don't be an ingrate like so many others. Please rate the answer or say thanks.
