If (−4,5)(-4,5) is one vertex and 7x−y+8=07 x-y+8=0 is one diagonal of a square, then the equation of second diagonal isIf (-4,5) is one vertex and 7 x-y+8=0 is one diagonal of a square, then the equation of second diagonal is

Options

  1. Ax+3y=21x+3 y=21
  2. B2x−3y=72 x-3 y=7
  3. Cx+7y=31x+7 y=31
  4. D2x+3y=212 x+3 y=21

Correct answer

C. x+7y=31x+7 y=31

Step-by-step solution

One vertex of square is (−4,5)(-4,5) and equation of one diagonal is 7x−y+8=07 x-y+8=0 Diagonal of a square are perpendicular and bisect each other
Let the equation of the other diagonal be y=mx+cy=m x+c where mm is the slope of the line and cc is the y\mathrm{y}-intercept.
Since this line passes through (−4,5)(-4,5)
If (-4,5) is one vertex and 7 x-y+8=0 is one diagonal of a square, then the equation of second diagonal is

Since this line is at right angle to the line
7x−y+8=07 x-y+8=0 or y=7x+8y=7 x+8, having slope =7=7,
∴7×m=−1\therefore 7 \times \mathrm{m}=-1 or m=−17\mathrm{m}=\frac{-1}{7}
Putting this value of mm in equation (i) we get
5=−4×(−17)+c5=-4 \times\left(\frac{-1}{7}\right)+c
or 5=47+c5=\frac{4}{7}+c \quad or c=5−47=317\quad c=5-\frac{4}{7}=\frac{31}{7}
Hence equation of the other diagonal is
y=−17x+317y=-\frac{1}{7} x+\frac{31}{7} or 7y=−x+317 y=-x+31 or x+7y−31=0x+7 y-31=0 or x+7y=31x+7 y=31
