The distance of a point (2,3) from the line 2x -3y + 9 = 0 measured along a line x-y +1 =0 is :A. 4B. `2sqrt(2)`C. `8sqrt(2)`D. `4sqrt(2)` |

Answer» Correct Answer - D The slope of the line `x-y+1=0`. So, it makes and angle of `45^(@)` with x-axis. The equation of a line passing through (2,3) and making an angle of `45^(@)` is given by `(x-2)/(cos 45^(@))=(y-3)/(sin 45^(@))=r` Co-ordinate of any point on his line are ltbr? `(2+r cos 45^(@), 3+r sin 45^(@))` or, `(2+(r)/(sqrt(2)),3+(r)/(sqrt(3)))` If this point lies on the line `3=2x-3y+9=0` `4+rsqrt(2)-9-(3r)/(sqrt(2))+9=0 implies r=4sqrt(2)` units. |
