Answer:

(a)

[tex]3 \sqrt{5} [/tex]

(b)

[tex] \frac{6}{ \sqrt{5} } [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A(-3,0)

B(0,6)

[tex]d = \sqrt{{( - 3 - 0)}^{2} + {(0 - 6)}^{2} } = \sqrt{9 + 36} = 3 \sqrt{5} [/tex]

[tex]d = \frac{ax0 + by0 + c}{ \sqrt{ {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} } } [/tex]

2x-y+6=0

a=2, b=-1, c=6

x0=0, y0=0

[tex]d = \frac{6}{ \sqrt{4 + 1} } = \frac{6}{ \sqrt{5} } [/tex]
