The line is rotated through an angle () in the clockwise direction about the point . The equation of the line in its new position is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
As is a point on , the rotation is possible. Slope of the given line . Slope of the line in its new position
(=\frac{\frac{3}{4}-1}{1+\frac{3}{4}}=-\frac{1}{7})
The required equation is
(\mathrm{y}-1=-\frac{1}{7}(\mathrm{x}+1) \text{ or }7 \mathrm{y}+\mathrm{x}-6=0)
