![distance from origin to given line: ((∣0×1+0×1−2∣)/( (√(1^2 +1^2 ))))=(√2) perpendicular line through origin: y=x the vertex must lie on this line, therefore (a),(b),(c) are possible. distance from vertex to the origin is 2 times of the distance from origin to the given line, i.e. 2(√2), therefore (b) and (c) are possible. distance from vertex to given line is 3 times of that from origin, i.e. 3(√2), (b): ((∣2×1+2×1−2∣)/( (√(1^2 +1^2 ))))=(√2)≠3(√2) (c): ((∣−2×1−2×1−2∣)/( (√(1^2 +1^2 ))))=3(√2) ⇒only (c) is correct.](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q77202.png)
