Find the distance from the point (1, 4) to the line y = 1/3x – 3. A) 2(square root) 10 units B) 4 units C) 4(square root) 2 units D) 20 units

Distance between line and point =

4√5 -3/2√10

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between the line is

= √ ((9-0)²+(0+1)²)

= √ (89+1)

= √90

= 3√10

Half of the line = 3/2√10

Distance of one side of the line and the point.

= √((9-1)²+(0-4)²)

= √((8)²+(-4)²)

=√64+16

= √80

= 4√5

Distance between line and point =

4√5 -3/2√10
