Solution

The distance of the point of intersection of the lines 2x – 3y + 5 = 0 and 3x + 4y = 0 from the line 5x – 2y = 0 is `130/(17sqrt(29))`.

Explanation:

Given equations are: 2x – 3y + 5 = 0  .....(i)

3x + 4y = 0   ......(ii)

From equation (ii) we get,

4y = – 3x

⇒ y = `(-3)/4 x`  .....(iii)

Putting the value of y in eq. (i) we have

`2x - 3((-3)/4 x) + 5` = 0

⇒ 8x + 9x + 20 = 0

⇒ 17x + 20 = 0

⇒ x = `(-20)/17`

Putting the value of x in equation (iii) we get

y = ` (-3)/4((-20)/17)`

⇒ y = `15/17`

∴ Point of intersection is `(- 20/17, 15/17)`.

Now perpendicular distance from the point `(- 20/17, 15/17)` to the given line 5x – 2y = 0 is

`|(5(- 20/17) - 2(15/17))/sqrt(25 + 4)| = |((-100)17 - 30/17)/sqrt(29)|`

= `130/(17sqrt(29))`
