The length of the perpendicular from 1 , - 2 to the line 12 x + 5 y + 63 = 0 is

The length of the perpendicular from 1,-2 to the line 12x+5y+63=0 is
  1. 4 units
  2. 5 units
  3. 6 units
  4. 8513 units

Solution

As we know length of the perpendicular from x1,y1,z1 to the line ax+by+c=0 is d=ax1+by1+ca2+b2

Length of the perpendicular from1,-2 to the line 12x+5y+63=0 is d=121+5-2+63122+52

d=12-10+63144+25=6513=5 units.
