3 and 5 are intercepts of a line \(L=0\), then the distance of \(L=0\) from \((3,7)\) is

  1. A \(\dfrac{21}{\sqrt{34}}\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{\sqrt{34}}{31}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{34}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{31}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\dfrac{21}{\sqrt{34}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The intercept form of a line with x-intercept \(a\) and y-intercept \(b\) is given by \(\dfrac{x}{a} + \dfrac{y}{b} = 1\). Given \(a = 3\) and \(b = 5\), the equation of the line \(L=0\) is \(\dfrac{x}{3} + \dfrac{y}{5} = 1\). Multiplying by 15, we get \(5x + 3y = 15\), or…
