Detailed Solution

We know that the equation of a line passing through the point  ( x 1 , y 1 )  is given by
y y 1 =m(x x 1 )   , where m is the slope of the line.
We have the point (1, 0) and if we compare it to ( x 1 , y 1 )  , then we get x 1 =1   and  y 1 =0  
So, putting these values in the above equation, we will get:-
y0=m(x1)  
Simplifying the equation to get the following equation:-
ymx+m=0 mx+ym=0  
We know that distance of the line ax+by+c=0  from the origin is given by: d= |c| a 2 + b 2  . Therefore, as we compare the both of equation, we have a=m,b=1andc=m  .
So, the distance from origin will be: d= |m| m 2 + 1 2  
Since, we are already given that the distance of line from origin is 3 2 units.  
d= |m| m 2 + 1 2 = 3 2 |m| m 2 + 1 2 = 3 2  
Squaring both sides, we will get:-
|m| m 2 + 1 2 2 = 3 2 2  
m 2 m 2 +1 = 3 4  
Cross - multiplying the terms to get the following expression:-
4 m 2 =3 m 2 +1  
Simplifying the RHS by opening up the parenthesis on the RHS, we will then obtain:-
4 m 2 =3 m 2 +3  
4 m 2 3 m 2 =3  
m 2 =3 m=± 3  
Putting this in (1), we will get-
3 x+y 3 =0 or  3 x+y+ 3 =0 3 x+y 3 =0 or  3 xy 3 =0
