The line LL given by x5+yb=1\frac{x}{5}+\frac{y}{b}=1 passes through the point (13,32)(13,32). The line KK is parallel to LL and has the equation xc+y3=1\frac{x}{c}+\frac{y}{3}=1. Then the distance between LL and KK is

Options

  1. A17\sqrt{17}
  2. B1715\frac{17}{\sqrt{15}}
  3. C2317\frac{23}{\sqrt{17}}
  4. D2315\frac{23}{\sqrt{15}}

Correct answer

C. 2317\frac{23}{\sqrt{17}}

Step-by-step solution

Slope of line L=−b5L=-\frac{b}{5} Slope of line K=−3c\mathrm{K}=-\frac{3}{\mathrm{c}} Line LL is parallel to line kk. \Rightarrow b5=3c⇒bc=\frac{\mathrm{b}}{5}=\frac{3}{\mathrm{c}} \quad \Rightarrow \mathrm{bc}=15 (13,32)(13,32) is a point on L\mathrm{L}. ⇒135+32b=1⇒32b=−85⇒b=−20⇒c=−34\begin{aligned}& \Rightarrow \frac{13}{5}+\frac{32}{b}=1 \quad \Rightarrow \frac{32}{b}=-\frac{8}{5}\\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{b}=-20 \quad \Rightarrow \mathrm{c}=-\frac{3}{4}\\ & \end{aligned}EquationofK:y−4x=3of K: y-4 x=3 Distance between L\mathrm{L} and $\mathrm{K}=\frac{|52-32+3|}{\sqrt{17}}=\frac{23}{\sqrt{17}}
