Find the distance of the point (2, 3) from the line y = 4.

Given: Point (2,3) and line y = 4


To find: The distance of the point (2, 3) from the line y = 4


Formula used:


We know that the distance between a point P (m,n) and a line ax + by + c = 0 is given by,


D



The equation of the line is y - 4 = 0


Here m= 2 and n = 3 , a = 0 , b = 1 , c = -4
