Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 4m2+1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, the line with slope m and y intercept 4. As we know by the slope-intercept form of a line, a line with a slope m and y intercept c, the equation of the line is y=mx+c. ⇒The equation of the line is y=mx+4. Also, the distance between a point x1,y1 and a line ax+by+c=0…
