The equation of the straight line perpendicular to 5 x-2 y=7 and passing through the point of intersection of the lines 2 x+3 y=1 and 3 x+4 y=6 is
Options
- A2 x+5 y+17=0
- B2 x+5 y-17=0
- C2 x-5 y+17=0
- D2 x-5 y=17
Correct answer
A. 2 x+5 y+17=0
Step-by-step solution
Let the equation of line which is perpendicular to 5 x-2 y=7 , is On solving Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get x=14, y=-9 Since the Eq. (i) is passing through the point (14,-9) aligned & & 2(14)+5(-9) & = & & 28-45 & = & & =-17 aligned Equation (i) becomes 2 x+5 y=-17 or 2 x+5 y+17=0
