Given equation of line is (x/3) + (y/4) = 1
=> 4x + 3y = 12
=> 4x + 3y - 12 = 0 ................1
Let (0,b) is the point of the y-axis whose distance from given line is 4 unit.
When we compare equation 1 with general form of the equation Ax+By+C = 0, we get
A = 4, B = 3, C = -12
Now perpendicular distance of a line Ax+By+C = 0 from a point (x1 , y1 ) is
d = |Ax1 + By1 + C|/√(A2 + B2 )
So perpendicular distance of a line 4x + 3y -12 = 0 from a point (0 ,b) is
4 = |4*0 + 3*b -12|/√(42 + 32 )
=>4 = |3b -12|/√(16 + 9)
=>4 = |3b -12|/√25
=>4 = |3b -12|/5
=>4*5 = |3b -12|
=> |3b -12| = 20
Now
3b -12 = 20 and 3b -12 = -20
=> 3b = 20+12 and 3b = -20+12
=> 3b = 32 and 3b = -8
=> b = 32/3 and b = -8/3
So the points are (0, 32/3) and (0, -8/3)
