  2. B \(2 x-3 y=5\)
  3. C \(4 x-3 y+12=0\)
  4. D \(5 x-2 y=3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5 x-2 y=3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For line \(3x-4y+4=0\): \(d = \frac{|4|}{\sqrt{3^2 + (-4)^2}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{25}} = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8\) For line \(2x-3y=5 \implies 2x-3y-5=0\): \(d = \frac{|-5|}{\sqrt{2^2 + (-3)^2}} = \frac{5}{\sqrt{13}} \approx 1.386\)
