The point on y = 2x-1 that is closest to (8,0) is (4,3). The distance between the two points is 5.
AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
(4,3) is not even on the line y=2x-1 !!
the ⊥ line through *8,0) is y = -1/2 x + 4
So the two lines intersect at (2,3)
The distance is √6^2+3^2) = √45 = 3√5
