line A: 2x+3y+12 = 0
The distance from (4,11) to Line A is thus
|2*4 + 3*11 + 12|/√(2^2+3^2) = 53/√13
Now do the same calculation with Line B and choose the one you want.
c) Knowing Tony is injured, they need to travel the shortest distance possible back to a road. They are located at (4,11), towards which road should they head and how far will they need to walk to reach this road?
