Lines are drawn parallel to the line 4x−3y+2=0,4x - 3y + 2 = 0, at a distance 35\dfrac{3}{5} units from the origin. Then which one of the following points lies on any of these lines?

Options

  1. A(14,−13)\left(\dfrac{1}{4}, - \dfrac{1}{3}\right)
  2. B(−14,23)\left(- \dfrac{1}{4}, \dfrac{2}{3}\right)
  3. C(−14,−23)\left(- \dfrac{1}{4}, - \dfrac{2}{3}\right)
  4. D(14,13)\left(\dfrac{1}{4}, \dfrac{1}{3}\right)

Correct answer

B. (−14,23)\left(- \dfrac{1}{4}, \dfrac{2}{3}\right)

Step-by-step solution

The equation of a line parallel to the line ax+by+c=0ax + by + c = 0 is ax+by+k=0.ax + by + k = 0 .

Thus, the equation of a line parallel to 4x−3y+2=04x - 3y + 2 = 0 is 4x−3y+c=0.4x - 3y + c = 0 .

The distance of a line ax+by+c=0ax + by + c = 0 from origin is ∣c∣a2+b2+c2.\dfrac{\left|c\right|}{\sqrt{{a}^{2} + {b}^{2} + {c}^{2}}} .

Given the line 4x−3y+c=04x - 3y + c = 0 is at a distance of 35\dfrac{3}{5} units from origin

⇒∣c∣16+9=35⇒ \dfrac{\left|c\right|}{\sqrt{16 + 9}} = \dfrac{3}{5}

⇒∣c∣5=35⇒ \dfrac{\left|c\right|}{5} = \dfrac{3}{5}

⇒c=±3.⇒ c = \pm 3 .

Hence, the equation of the lines are 4x−3y+3=0and4x - 3y + 3 = 0 and4x - 3y - 3 = 0 .</p><p>Clearlypoint(−14,23)</p><p>Clearly point \left(- \dfrac{1}{4}, \dfrac{2}{3}\right) satisfy the given equation 4x−3y+3=0.4x - 3y + 3 = 0 .
