Suppose P(x,y)lying on 3 x-y+2=0 or 3 x+y-2=0 is at a distance of 5 units from their point of intersection. Then the distance from (0,0) to the foot of the perpendicular of P onto the y -axis is
Options
- A2
- B5 3 2
- C2+ 5 3 2
- D2- 5 3 2
Correct answer
A. 2
Step-by-step solution
L ₁: 3 x-y+2=0 aligned & L ₂: 3 x+y-2=0 & ~L ₁ and L ₂ intersect on A(0,2) & P can be on any of L ₁ or L ₂ & such that AP =5 aligned For L ₁: y= 3 x+2 i.e. m= 3 aligned & ABO =60^ & BAO =30^ & PAQ =30^ aligned aligned & In PAQ, & 30^ =A Q / A P aligned aligned & AQ = AP 30^ = 5 3 2 & OQ = OA + AQ aligned =2+ 5 3 2
