Answer:

The answer to your question is: d = 0.85 units

Explanation:

Data

Line equation: 1.2 x − 0.5 y + 1.1 = 0 A = 1.2; B = -0.5; C = 1.1

Point (0, 0) x = 0; y = 0

Formula

d = | Ax + By + C | / √(A² + B²)

Process

d = |(1.2)(0) + (-0.5)(0) + 1.1 | / √ (1.2)² + (0.5)²

d = | 1.1 | / √ 1.44 + 0.25

d = 1.1 / √ 1.69

d = 1.1 / 1.3

d = 0.85 units
