Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((-7,11)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the point on the line \(x+y=4\) be \(P(h, 4-h)\). The distance \(d\) of point \(P(h, 4-h)\) from the line \(4x+3y-10=0\) is given by the formula \(d = \dfrac{|ax_1 + by_1 + c|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}\). Substituting the coordinates of \(P\) and the line equation:…
