To take any point on the line x−y=2 ......(1)
Let x=α, then from (1),y=α−2
∴P(α,α−2) is any point on the line (1)
It will be a required point if its perpendicular distance from the line
x+2y=5 is 5 units
⇒|α−2(α−2)−5|√12+12=5
⇒|α−2α+4|√2=5
⇒|−α+8|√2=5
⇒α−8=±5√2
⇒α=8±5√2
∴α=8+5√22,8−5√22
Hence, the required points are (8+5√22,8+5√22−2) and (8−5√22,8−5√22−2)
or (8+5√22,8+5√2−42) and (8−5√22,8−5√2−42)
or (8+5√22,4+5√22) and (8−5√22,4−5√22)
