AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the direction (slope) of a straight line that passes through the point \((-1, 2)\) and intersects the line \(x + y = 4\) at a distance of 3 units from the point \((-1, 2)\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Equation of the Line through Point (-1, 2)**: We can express the equation of the line passing through the point \((-1, 2)\) in point-slope form: \[ y - 2 = m(x + 1) ...
