  (3/2)√2 ≈ 2.1213 units

Step-by-step explanation:

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

  d = |ax +by +c|/√(a^2 +b^2)

We can write the equation of the line as ...

  x + y -4 = 0

so the distance is ...

  d = |x + y - 4|/√(1^2 +1^2)

For point (x, y) = (2, -1), the distance is ...

  d = |2 +(-1) -4|/√2 = 3/√2 = (3√2)/2

The distance from A(2, -1) to the line y = -x +4 is (3√2)/2 units.
