A point on the straight line, 3x+5y=153x + 5y = 15 which is equidistant from the coordinate axes will lie only in:

Options

  1. A1st{1}^{st} and 2nd{2}^{nd} quadrants
  2. B1st,2nd{1}^{st}, {2}^{nd} and 4th quadrants
  3. C1st{1}^{st} quadrant
  4. D4th{4}^{th} quadrant

Correct answer

A. 1st{1}^{st} and 2nd{2}^{nd} quadrants

Step-by-step solution

Let (a,a)\left(a, a\right) be a point on the line 3x+5y=153x + 5y = 15

⇒3a+5a=15⇒ 3a + 5a = 15

⇒a=158⇒ a = \dfrac{15}{8}

∴∴ Point is (158,158)\left(\dfrac{15}{8}, \dfrac{15}{8}\right) which lies in 1st{1}^{st} quadrant

Again, Let (−a,a)\left(- a, a\right) be a point on the line

3x+5y=153x + 5y = 15

⇒−3a+5a=15⇒ - 3a + 5a = 15

⇒a=152⇒ a = \dfrac{15}{2}

∴∴ Point is (−152,152)\left(- \dfrac{15}{2}, \dfrac{15}{2}\right) which lies in 2nd{2}^{nd} quadrant

Hence, required point lies in1stand2nd{1}^{st} and {2}^{nd} quadrants.
