To find: the distance between Juwan’s position and the road.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Juwan moves to 2000 feet east from the road and stops.
The units are hundreds of feet and the positive y- axis of the
The equation of road is shown below.
Calculation:
Since the units are hundreds of feet, so the point coordinate
The road equation is in the standard form where
The distance from a point to a line
Thus the distance from the road to the point of location of Juwan is 1715 feet.
