Find the equation of a line with slope 2...

Find the equation of a line with slope 2 and the length of the perpendicular form the origin equal to `sqrt(5)` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Equation of a line in slope-intercept form is,
`y=mx+c`
Given, the slope `=2`
`implies y=2x+c`
`implies 2x-y+c=0`
Its perpendicular distance from origin `=sqrt5` units.
We know that the perpendicular distance of point ` (x_1,y_1)` from line `ax+by+c=0` is,
`=|frac{ax_1+by_1+c}{sqrt{a^2+b^2}}|`
