Detailed Solution

The slope of the line x - y + 1 = 0 is 1. So, it makes an angle of 45° with x-axis.

The equation of a line passing through (2, 3) and making an angle of 45° is given by

   x2cos45=y3sin45=r

Co-ordinates of any point on this line are

  2+rcos45,3+rsin45 or, 2+r2,3+r2

If this point lies on the line 2x-3y+9=0, then

    4+r293r2+9=0r=42

Hence, required distance =42 units .
