We get two pts.

P_1(1,12/5), and, P_2(-3,16/5) satisfying the given cond.

Explanation:

Let the given lines be

l :x+5y=13, and, l' : 12x-5y+26=0

Let the reqd. pt. be P(h,k).

Given P in l, rArr h+5k=13....................(1).

Also, (bot)distance from P to l' is 2.

rArr |12h-5k+26|/sqrt(12^2+(-5)^2)=2

:. |12h-5k+26|=26, or, 12h-5k+26=+-26

:. 12h-5k=0... ...(2'), or, 12h-5k=-52... ...(2'')

Solving (1),(2'),(2''), we get two pts.

P_1(1,12/5), and, P_2(-3,16/5) satisfying the given cond.
