Answer:

6 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Point (x,-3) and line y=3

Line: y=3 is horizontal line.

For horizontal line y is fix and x-coordinate vary

Let point on line be (x,3)

Now find distance between (x,3) and (x-3)

using distance formula:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x-x)^2+(3+3)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{6^2}[/tex]

[tex]d=6[/tex]

Hence, The distance between the point (x, −3) to the line y = 2 is 6 unit
