Answer:

  3√2

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from point (x, y) to the line ax+by+c=0 is given by ...

  d = |ax +by +c|/√(a²+b²)

In general for, the equation of the line is ...

  x -y +4 = 0

so the distance formula is ...

  d = |x -y +4|/√(1² +(-1)²) = |x -y +4|/√2

For the given point, the distance is ...

  d = |6 -4 +4|/√2 = 6/√2

  d = 3√2 . . . . distance from the point to the line
