Find the minimum distance between the point (-2, -8) and the line y= -2

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Min distance is the Perpendicular distance

-2 - (-8) = 6

there are no short passages to look at

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
