Let: P(2,-1) goes 2 units along x+y=1 upto A and 5 units along x-2 y=4 upto B
Slope of P A=-1=\tan 135^{\circ}, slope of P A=-1=\tan 135^{\circ}
\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \sin \theta & =\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}, \cos \theta=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} \\ \therefore \quad A & \equiv\left(x_1+r \cos 135^{\circ}, y_1+r \sin 135^{\circ}\right) \\ & =\left(2+2 \times-\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right),-1+2 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) \\ & =(2-\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{2}-1) \end{aligned}
