A rectangle is formed by the lines $\displaystyle x=0, y=0, x=3$ and $\displaystyle y=4$. Let the line L be perpendicular to $\displaystyle 3 x+y+6=0$ and divide the area of the rectangle into two equal parts. Then the distance of the point $\displaystyle \left(\frac{1}{2},-5\right)$ from the line L is equal to :
