Refer to diagram:

y=4 is perpendicular bisector of JK
Hence distance between Point J and line y = 6 = distance between line y and point K.
Point K(6,-2)
Distance between point K and origin is 6^2+2^2= 2\sqrt{10}

OA B.

Please let me know the OA.

coordinates of point k are (6,-2).
distance of J = 6 from y=4 means distance of 6 from y=4 for K gives y = -2.

thus 36+4 = distance from origin ^ 2
40 ^(1/2) = B

The point k is (6, -2)
Therefore, OK is root of 6^2 + 2^2 = root 40 or 2*root10
