Straight lines 3x+4y=5and4x−3y=153x + 4y = 5 and 4x - 3y = 15~intersect at the point AA. If point BandCB and C are chosen on these two lines such that AB=ACAB = AC, then the possible equation of the line BCBC passing through the point (1,2)\left(1, 2\right) isStraight lines 3x + 4y = 5 and 4x - 3y = 15 ~intersect at the point A . If point B and C are chosen on these two lines

Step-by-step solution

The given straight lines are 3x+4y=5and4x−3y=153x + 4y = 5 and 4x - 3y = 15. Clearly, these straight lines are perpendicular to each other (m1m2=−1)\left({m}_{1}{m}_{2} = - 1\right) and intersect at A.Now,.

or y−2=−7x+7y - 2 = - 7x + 7

⇒x−7y+13=0⇒ x - 7y + 13 = 0

or 7x+y−9=07x + y - 9 = 0

Hence, option (c) is correct.
