What is the shortest distance between the line given by -2x + 3y + 4 = 0 and the point (5,6)?(a) 4.5 units(b) 5.4 units(c) 4.3 units(d) 3.3 unitsThis question was addressed to me during an online exam.My query is from Computational Geometry in division Computational Geometry of Data Structures & Algorithms II

Answer»

The correct OPTION is (d) 3.3 units

The best explanation: The shortest distance between a LINE and a point is given by the formula (ax1+by1+c)/(√a^2+b^2). USING this formula we GET the ANSWER 3.3 units.
