Question

Express the equation of the given line in standard form. Then find the distance from the given point P(x1,y1)P\left(x_1, y_1\right) to that line. Round answers to the nearest hundredth.

The line is perpendicular to the line 2y=3x42 y=3 x-4 and passes through the origin; P(2,5)P(2,-5).

Remember that the standard form of any linear equation is denoted by:

Ax+By+C=0(1)Ax+By+C= \tag{1}0

where A0A \not = 0 and B0B \not = 0.

Also, the distance from a point P(x1,y1)P(x_1, y_1) to any nonvertical line is denoted by:

d=Ax1+By1+CA2+B2(2)d=\dfrac{|Ax_1+By_1+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}} \tag{2}
