The correct Answer is:
To find the distance of the line \(3x + 4y + 30 = 0\) from the origin, we can use the formula for the distance \(d\) from a point \((x_0, y_0)\) to a line given by the equation \(Ax + By + C = 0\): \[ d = \frac{|Ax_0 + By_0 + C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}} \] ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients From the line equation \(3x + 4y + 30 = 0\), we can identify: - \(A = 3\) - \(B = 4\) - \(C = 30\) ### Step 2: Substitute the coordinates of the origin The coordinates of the origin are \((x_0, y_0) = (0, 0)\). We substitute these values into the distance formula: \[ d = \frac{|3(0) + 4(0) + 30|}{\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the numerator Calculating the numerator: \[ d = \frac{|0 + 0 + 30|}{\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}} = \frac{|30|}{\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}} = \frac{30}{\sqrt{9 + 16}} = \frac{30}{\sqrt{25}} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the denominator Now, calculate the denominator: \[ \sqrt{25} = 5 \] ### Step 5: Final calculation Now substitute back into the equation: \[ d = \frac{30}{5} = 6 \] Thus, the distance of the line \(3x + 4y + 30 = 0\) from the origin is \(6\) units. ### Summary of Solution: The distance from the origin to the line \(3x + 4y + 30 = 0\) is \(6\) units.
