Find the distance of the point `(3, - 5)`from the line `3x - 4y - 26 =0`.

Explanation

To find the distance of the point \( (3, -5) \) from the line given by the equation \( 3x - 4y - 26 = 0 \), we can use the formula for the distance \( d \) from a point \( (x_1, y_1) \) to a line \( Ax + By + C = 0 \):

\[ d = \frac{|Ax_1 + By_1 + C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}} \]
