Question

If \(d\) is the distance of a point \(P(-1,2)\) to the line \(x+2y-4=0\) measured along a straight line which is parallel to the straight line \(x-\sqrt{3}y+5=0\), then \(d=\)

• A. \(4-2\sqrt{3}\)
• B. \(4+2\sqrt{3}\)
• C. \(2-2\sqrt{3}\)
• D. \(2+2\sqrt{3}\)

Hint:

If distance is measured along a given direction, always form the line parallel to that direction through the point.
