Okay people! I need help. In geometry, on a x/y coordinate plane, I need to find the distance between the point (3,2) and the slope y = 5/6x + 7. Step by step, if you will. I know the slope of the line is 5/6 so -m= -6/5, however, I can't get beyond that point. (No pun intended ;D)

You're just a step away from the equation of the line that's perpendicular to [ y = 5/6 x + 7 ]. ... You know that its slope is -6/5 and that it contains the point (3, 2). ... Find the equation of that line. Then find the point where the two lines intersect. Then find the distance between that point and (3, 2). SIR !
