Answer:

d≅1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a line of equation

[tex]ax + by + c = 0[/tex]

And the point [tex](x_0,y_0)[/tex]

The distance from the line to the point is given by

[tex]\displaystyle d=\frac {|ax_{0}+by_{0}+c|}{\sqrt {a^{2}+b^{2}}}[/tex]

In the question we have

[tex]-x+y+6=0[/tex] and P(-9,-3)

Replacing the values in the formula:

[tex]d=\frac {|(-1)(-9)+(1)(-3)+6|}{\sqrt {(-9)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}}[/tex]

[tex]d=\frac {|9-3+6|}{\sqrt {81+9}}[/tex]

[tex]d=\frac {12}{\sqrt {90}}=\frac {4}{\sqrt {10}}[/tex]

d≅1.3
