  1. A \(\sqrt{5}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{5}\)
  4. D \(\frac{5}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{5}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Perpendicular distance of point \((1,2)\) to the line \(3 x+4 y=6\) is \(=\left|\frac{3 \times 1+4 \times 2-6}{\sqrt{9+16}}\right|=\frac{5}{5}=1\) \(\therefore\) Slope of line \(3 x-4 y=5\) is \(\frac{3}{4}\).…
