Detailed Solution

The points on the line which are at a distance ‘r’ units from P(x1, y1) are
x=x1±rcosθ,y=y1±rsinθ
 given st.line 4x3y10=0 ...(1)
 slope of (1) is (m)=Tanθ=43
sinθ=45,cosθ=35
And given st.line is at a distance of 5 units from the point (1, –2)  ,so r=5
Now x=1±535,  y=2±545x=1+3&13 ,  y=2+4&24x=4 &2     ,y=2 &6
 the points on the line is (4,2) and (2,6)
