Let the angles made with the positive x -axis by two straight lines drawn from the point P (2,3) and meeting the line x+y=6 at a distance 2 3 from the point P be ₁ and ₂ . Then the value of ( ₁+ ₂ ) is:
Options
- A3
- B6
- C2
- D12
Correct answer
C. 2
Step-by-step solution
Using parametric form through P(2,3) : point at distance r = 2 3 is (2 + r , 3 + r ) . Substituting in x + y = 6 : r( + ) = 1 , so + = 3 2 . 2 ( + 4 ) = 3 2 ( + 4 ) = 3 2 . + 4 = 3 or 2 3 . ₁ = 12 , ₂ = 5 12 . ₁ + ₂ = 12 + 5 12 = 2 .
