Misc 4 What are the points on the y-axis whose distance from the line š„/3 + š¦/4 = 1 is 4 units. Let any point on y-axis be P(0, k) Given that distance of point on y-axis from the line š„/3 + š¦/4 = 1 is 4 units Given line is š„/3 + š¦/4 = 1 (4š„ + 3š¦)/12 = 1 4x + 3y = 12 4x + 3y ā 12 = 0 The above equation is of the form Ax + By + C = 0 Here A = 4, B = 3, and C = ā12 We know that Distance of a point (x1, y1) from a line Ax + By + C = 0 is d = |ćš“š„ć_1 + ćšµš¦ć_1 + š¶|/ā(š“^2 + šµ^2 ) Given Distance of a point (0, k) from line 4x + 3y ā 12 = 0 is 4 Putting values x1 = 0 , y1 = k , d = 4 & A = 4 , B = 3 , C = ā 12 So, 4 = |4(0) + 3š + ( ā 12)|/ā((4)^2 + (3)^2 ) 4 = |0 + 3š ā 12|/ā(16 + 9) 4 = |3š ā 12|/ā25 4 = |3š ā 12|/5 4 Ć 5 = |3šā12| 20 = |3šā12| |3šā12| = 20 3k ā 12 = ± 20 Hence point on y-axis is (0, 32/3) and (0, ( ā 8)/3)
