The vertex A of a triangle lies on the lines x+y=1 and 2 x+3 y=6 . If the orthocentre of the triangle is O ( 3 7 , 22 7 ) , then the equation of O A in the normal form is
Options
- Ax +y =7 ; = ⁻¹ 1 7
- Bx +y = 13 17 ; = ⁻¹ ( 1 4 )
- Cx +y = 13 4 ; = ⁻¹ ( 13 17 )
- Dx +y = 13 17 ; = ⁻¹
Correct answer
D. x +y = 13 17 ; = ⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
Vertex A is point of intersection of the lines x+y=1 and 2 x+3 y=6 Point of intersection =(-3,4) So, A(-3,4) and O ( 3 7 , 22 7 ) Equation of line passing through two points aligned y-4 & = ( 22 7 -4 ) 3 7 +3 (x+3) y-4 & =- 6 24 (x+3) x+4 y & =13 aligned Normal form of line x +y =P Where P= 13 17 , = 1 17 , = 4 17 = 4 1 Hence, required equation is x +y = 13 17 ; = ⁻¹(4) .
