  1. A (2,-3)
  2. B (-3,2)
  3. C (0,-1)

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (-1,0)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \((h, k)\) be the point on line \(x+y+1=0\) So. \[ h+k+1=0 \] \[ h=-1-k \] Given, distance between \((h, k)\) and line \(3 x+4 y+2=0\) is \(\frac{1}{5}\) \(\therefore\) \(\frac{1}{5}=\left|\frac{(3 h)+(4 k)+2}{\sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}}}\right|\)…
