The shortest distance between (5,1) and the line is 3 units. this is the minimum distance between the point on the line. The points on the line that are the last point were the distance between (5,1) and the line is less than or equal to 5 is (9,4) and (1,4). Draw a picture and you’ll see this.

the line is 13 units long, the distance between (9,4) and (1,4) is 8. the prob a point is picked in that range is thus 8/13 assuming that the point is chosen at random.
