(a). Given the point in the plane and the line , find the distance from the point to the line by using the method of Chapter 3, Section 5.
(b). Solve part (a) by writing a formula for the distance from to and minimizing the distance (use Lagrange multipliers).
(c). Derive the formula
For the distance from to by the methods suggested in parts (a) and (b).
