Question:
find the equation of line whose distance from origin is 2unit and passes through (2,2)
Answer:

Let the equation of line is 

      y = mx + c ...............1

=> y - mx - c = 0 ...........2

Given distance from origin to this line  = 2

=> |(0 - 0 - c)/√(1+m2 )| = 2

=> c/√(1+m2 ) = 2

Square on both side, we get

      c2 /(1+m2 ) = 4

=> c2 = 4(1+m2 ) ......3

Again given line passes through (2,2)

So   2 - 2m - c = 0

= > c = 2-2m ..........4

Put this value in equation3, we get

     (2 - 2m)2 = 4(1+m2 )

=> 4 + 4m2 - 8m = 4 + 4m2

=> 8m = 0

=> m = 0

Put this value in equation 4 , we get

      c= 2 - 0

=> c = 2

Now Put this value of c and m in equation 1 , we get

y = 0*x + 2

=> y = 2

This is the required equation of line.
