The correct answer is:
The points and lie on the line
Draw perpendicular on the line

Clearly area of
To find a point on the line, let
Thus, the point
The direction ratios of a line joining two points and are
Thus, the direction ratios of are
Since is perpendicular to given line, hence the dot product of their direction ratios is zero.
The distance between the points is
units
Hence, the area of sq units.
