-axis, whose distances from the line
x
3
+
y
4
=
1
are
4
units.

Solution
The given equation of line is
x
3
+
y
4
=
1
or
4
x
+
3
y
−
12
=
0
Let
(
a
,
0
)
be the point on the
x
-axis whose distance from the given line is
4
units.
Thus, using distance formula,
4
=
|
4
a
+
3
⋅
0
−
12
|
√
4
2
+
3
2
⇒
4
=
|
4
a
−
12
|
5
⇒
|
4
a
−
12
|
=
20
⇒
±
(
4
a
−
12
)
=
20
⇒
(
4
a
−
12
)
=
20
or
−
(
4
a
−
12
)
=
20
⇒
4
a
=
20
+
12
or
4
a
=
−
20
+
12
⇒
a
=
8
or
−
2
Thus, the required points on the
x
-axis are
(
−
2
,
0
)
and
(
8
,
0
)
