Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Distance of a point from a Line Question 1 Detailed Solution
Calculation
Given L1 : \( \frac{x-6}{1}=\frac{y-4}{0}=\frac{z-8}{3} \\\)
L2 : \( \frac{x-5}{2}=\frac{y-1}{-3}=\frac{z-5}{6} \)
Let line L passing from A(7, –2, 11) and parallel to L2
⇒ L : \( \frac{x-7}{2}=\frac{y+3}{-3}=\frac{z-11}{6} \)
B lies on line L
\(\mathrm{B}=(2 λ+7,-3 λ-2,6 λ+11)\)
Point B lies on \(\frac{x-6}{1}=\frac{y-4}{0}=\frac{z-8}{3}\)
⇒ \(\frac{2 λ+7-6}{1}=\frac{-3 λ-2-4}{0}=\frac{6 λ+11-8}{3}\)
⇒ -3λ - 6 = 0
⇒ λ = -2
B ⇒ (3, 4, -1)
\(\mathrm{AB} =\sqrt{(7-3)^2+(4+2)^2+(11+1)^2}\)
\(⇒\sqrt{16+36+144}\)
\(⇒\sqrt{196}=14 \)
Hence option 2 is correct
Distance of a point from a Line Question 2:
What are the points on the y-axis whose perpendicular distance from the line \(\frac{x}{3} - \frac{y}{4} = 1\) is 3 units ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Distance of a point from a Line Question 2 Detailed Solution
CONCEPT:
The perpendicular distance d from P (x1, y1) to the line ax + by + c = 0 is given by \(d = \left| {\frac{{a{x_1} + b{y_1} + c}}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right|\)
CALCULATION:
Here, we have to find the points which are on the y-axis such that the perpendicular distance between the points and the line \(\frac{x}{3} - \frac{y}{4} = 1\) is 3 units.
The given equation of line can be re-written as: 4x - 3y - 12 = 0
Let P = (0, y)
Here a = 4, b = - 3 and d = 3
Now substitute x1 = 0 and y1 = y in the equation 4x - 3y - 12 = 0
⇒ |4⋅ x1 - 3 ⋅ y1 - 12| = |0 - 3y - 12|
⇒ \(\sqrt{a^2+b^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + (- 3)^2} = 5\)
As we know that, the perpendicular distance d from P (x1, y1) to the line ax + by + c = 0 is given by \(d = \left| {\frac{{a{x_1} + b{y_1} + c}}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right|\)
⇒ \(d = \left| {\frac{{4\cdot x_1- 3 \cdot y_1 - 12 }}{{\sqrt {{4^2} + {(- 3)^2}} }}} \right| = 3\)
⇒ |- 3y - 12| = 15
⇒ y = 1 or - 9
So, the points are: (0, 1) and (0, - 9)
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
Distance of a point from a Line Question 3:
For what value of k are the two straight lines 3x + 4y = 1 and 4x + 3y + 2k = 0 equidistant from the point (1, 1)?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Distance of a point from a Line Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept :
The distance of the line ax +by + c = 0 from the point (x1, y1 ) is given by,\(\rm d =\frac{\left | ax_{1}+by{_{1}}+c \right |}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}\)
Calculations :
Given let (1, 1) = (x1, y1 )
Let d1 is the distance of the line 3x + 4y = 1 from the point (1, 1).
Let d2 is the distance of the line 4x + 3y + 2k = 0 from the point (1, 1).
The two straight lines 3x + 4y = 1 and 4x + 3y + 2k = 0 are equidistant from the point (1, 1).
Therefore, d1 = d2.
The distance of the line ax +by + c = 0 from the point (x1, y1 ) is given by,\(\rm d =\frac{\left | ax_{1}+by{_{1}}+c \right |}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}\)
Hence, the distance of the line 3x + 4y - 1 = 0 from the point (1, 1) is d1 = \(\rm \frac{\left | (3)(1)+(4)(1)-1\right |}{\sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}}}\)
d1 = \(\rm\frac {6}{5}\)
Similarly, the distance of the line 4x + 3y + 2k = 0 from the point (1, 1) is d2 = \(\rm \frac{\left | (4)(1)+(3)(1)+2k\right |}{\sqrt{4^{2}+3^{2}}}\)
d2 = \(\rm\frac{7+2k}{5}\)
Since, d1 = d2.
\(\rm\frac{6}{5} = \frac{7+2k}{5}\)
6 = 7+2k
k = \(\rm\frac{-1}{2}\)
Distance of a point from a Line Question 4:
If (a, b) is at unit distance from the line 8x + 6y + 1 = 0, then which of the following conditions are correct?
1. 3a – 4b – 4 = 0
2. 8a + 6b + 11 = 0
3. 8a + 6b – 9 = 0
Select the correct answer using the code given below:

Distance of a point from a Line Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Perpendicular Distance of a Point from a Line
Let us consider a plane given by the Cartesian equation, Ax + By + C = 0 and a point whose coordinate is, (x1, y1)
Now, distance = \(\left| {\frac{{{\rm{A}}{{\rm{x}}_1}{\rm{\;}} + {\rm{\;B}}{{\rm{y}}_1}{\rm{\;}} + {\rm{\;c}}}}{{\sqrt {{{\rm{A}}^2}{\rm{\;}} + {\rm{\;\;}}{{\rm{B}}^2}{\rm{\;}}} }}} \right|\)
Calculation:
Given:
Perpendicular Distance of a Point (a, b) from a Line the line 8x + 6y + 1 = 0 is 1
\( \Rightarrow \left| {\frac{{8{\rm{a\;}} + {\rm{\;}}6{\rm{b\;}} + {\rm{\;}}1{\rm{\;}}}}{{\sqrt {{8^2}{\rm{\;}} + {\rm{\;\;}}{6^2}{\rm{\;}}} }}} \right| = 1\)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{{8{\rm{a\;}} + {\rm{\;}}6{\rm{b\;}} + {\rm{\;}}1{\rm{\;}}}}{{10}} = \pm 1\)
⇒ 8a + 6b + 1 = ± 10
⇒ 8a + 6b + 1 = 10 and 8a + 6b + 1 = -10
∴ 8a + 6b -9 = 0 and 8a + 6b + 11 = 0
So statement 2 and 3 are correct.Distance of a point from a Line Question 5:
The distance of a point (3, 2) from a line 3x + 4y = 7 is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Distance of a point from a Line Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Perpendicular Distance of a Point from a Line:
Let us consider a line Ax + By + C = 0 and a point whose coordinate is (x1, y1)
\(\rm d=|\frac{Ax_1+By_1+C}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}|\)
Calculation:
Given: equation of line is 3x + 4y = 7 and a point is (3, 2)
We know the distance of a line from is given by, \(\rm d=|\frac{Ax_1+By_1+C}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}|\)
So, distance of a point (3, 2) from a line 3x + 4y - 7 = 0 is given by,
\(\rm d = |\frac{3(3)+4(2)-7}{\sqrt{3^2+4^2}}|\)
\(\rm = |\frac{9+8-7}{\sqrt{9+16}}|\)
\(\rm = |\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}|\)
= 10/5
= 2 units
Hence, option (2) is correct.
Distance of a point from a Line Question 6:
The distance of the point (2, 3) from the line 2x – 3y + 28 = 0, measured parallel to the line \(\sqrt3\)x - y + 1 = 0, is equal to
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Distance of a point from a Line Question 6 Detailed Solution
Calculation
Writing P in terms of parametric co-ordinates (2 + r cos θ, 3 + r sin θ)
As tan θ = √3
⇒ \(\mathrm{P}\left(2+\frac{\mathrm{r}}{2}, 3+\frac{√{3} \mathrm{r}}{2}\right)\)
P must satisfy 2x - 3y + 28 = 0
So, \(2\left(2+\frac{r}{2}\right)-3\left(3+\frac{√{3} \mathrm{r}}{2}\right)+28=0\)
⇒ r = 4 + 6√3
Hence option (4) is correct
Distance of a point from a Line Question 7:
Find the distance of the line 5x + 3y = 6 from the origin ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Distance of a point from a Line Question 7 Detailed Solution
CONCEPT:
The perpendicular distance d from P (x1, y1) to the line ax + by + c = 0 is given by \(d = \left| {\frac{{a{x_1} + b{y_1} + c}}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right|\)
CALCULATION:
Here, we have to find the distance of the line 5x + 3y = 6 from the origin
Let P = (0, 0)
⇒ x1 = 0 and y1 = 0
Here, a = 5 and b = 3
Now substitute x1 = 0 and y1 = 0 in the equation 5x + 3y - 6 = 0, we get
⇒ |5⋅ x1 + 3 ⋅ y1 - 6| = |0 + 0 - 6| = 6
⇒ \(\sqrt{a^2+b^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{34}\)
As we know that, the perpendicular distance d from P (x1, y1) to the line ax + by + c = 0 is given by \(d = \left| {\frac{{a{x_1} + b{y_1} + c}}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right|\)
⇒ \(d = \left| {\frac{{5\cdot x_1+ 3 \cdot y_1 - 6}}{{\sqrt {{5^2} + {3^2}} }}} \right| = \frac{6}{\sqrt{34}}\)
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
Distance of a point from a Line Question 8:
The points on the -axis whose perpendicular distance from the line \(\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{4}=1\) is 4 units are
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Distance of a point from a Line Question 8 Detailed Solution
Concept Used:
Perpendicular distance from a point (x1, y1) to the line ax + by + c = 0 is given by:
d = \(\frac{|ax_1 + by_1 + c|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}\)
Calculation
Given line: \(\frac{x}{3} + \frac{y}{4} = 1\)
Multiply by 12: 4x + 3y = 12
4x + 3y - 12 = 0
Points on x-axis are of the form (x1, 0)
Perpendicular distance = 4
4 = \(\frac{|4x_1 + 3(0) - 12|}{\sqrt{4^2 + 3^2}}\)
⇒ 4 = \(\frac{|4x_1 - 12|}{\sqrt{16 + 9}}\)
⇒ 4 = \(\frac{|4x_1 - 12|}{\sqrt{25}}\)
⇒ 4 = \(\frac{|4x_1 - 12|}{5}\)
⇒ 20 = |4x1 - 12|
Case 1: 4x1 - 12 = 20
⇒ 4x1 = 32
⇒ x1 = 8
Point: (8, 0)
Case 2: 4x1 - 12 = -20
⇒ 4x1 = -8
⇒ x1 = -2
Point: (-2, 0)
∴ The points are (8, 0) and (-2, 0).
Hence option 1 is correct
Distance of a point from a Line Question 9:
The lines \( \frac{x-2}{2}=\frac{y}{-2}=\frac{z-7}{16}\) and \( \frac{x+3}{4}=\frac{y+2}{3}=\frac{z+2}{1} \) intersect at the point P. If the distance of P from the line \(\frac{x+1}{2}=\frac{y-1}{3}=\frac{z-1}{1} \) is I, then 14l2 is equal to ____.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 108
Distance of a point from a Line Question 9 Detailed Solution
Calculation
Given
\(\frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y}{-1}=\frac{z-7}{8}=λ\)
\(\frac{x+3}{4}=\frac{y+2}{3}=\frac{z+2}{1}=k\)
⇒ λ + 2 = 4k - 3, - λ = 3k - 2, 8λ + 7 = k - 2
⇒ k = 1, λ = -1
∴ P = (1,1, -1)
Projection of \(2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-2 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \text { on } 2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}}\) is
⇒ l = \(\frac{4-2}{\sqrt{4+9+1}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{14}}\)
∴ \(l^2=8-\frac{4}{14}=\frac{108}{14}\)
⇒ 14l2 = 108
Distance of a point from a Line Question 10:
What is the perpendicular distance of the point (x, y) from x-axis?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Distance of a point from a Line Question 10 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by,\(\rm\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\)
Calculation:
Point on the X-axis (x, 0)
So the distance from (x, 0) to the point (x, y)
\(\rm\sqrt{(x-x)^2+(y-0)^2}\\ =\sqrt{y^2} \\=y\)
Distance should be positive so, distance = |y|
Hence, option (4) is correct.
