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 represented by the equation \( ax + by + c = 0 \):

\[ d = \frac{|ax_1 + by_1 + c|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} \]
