A straight line drawn through the point A (2, 1) making an angle π/4 with positive x–axis intersects another line x + 2y + 1 = 0 in the point B. Find length AB.

Given:

   

   

Let us find the length AB.

By using the formula,

The equation of the line is given by:

   

Let ,

   

Then, the coordinate of B is given by:
