the line \(x+y+3=0\) is

  1. A \(8 \sqrt{2}\) units
  2. B \(2 \sqrt{2}\) units
  3. C \(\sqrt{2}\) units

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \sqrt{2}\) units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\hat{f}^{(1,-2)}\)
\(x+y+3=0\)
Distance of focus from
\(\text { Dizectrix }=22\)
\(\begin{array}{l}
1^{2} \text { distance } \\
=\frac{|1-2+3|}{\sqrt{2}} \\
=\sqrt{2} .
\end{array}\)
Length of L.R
\(=2 \sqrt{2}\)
