Two sides of a rhombus are along the lines, x−y+1=0and7x−y−5=0x - y + 1 = 0 and 7x - y - 5 = 0 . If its diagonals intersect at (−1,−2)\left(- 1, - 2\right) , then which one of the following is a vertex of this rhombus ?Two sides of a rhombus are along the lines, x - y + 1 = 0 and 7x - y - 5 = 0 . If its diagonals intersect at (- 1, - 2)

Options

  1. A(13,−83)\left(\dfrac{1}{3}, - \dfrac{8}{3}\right)
  2. B(−103,−73)\left(- \dfrac{10}{3}, - \dfrac{7}{3}\right)
  3. C(−3,−9)\left(- 3, - 9\right)
  4. D(−3,−8)\left(- 3, - 8\right)

Correct answer

A. (13,−83)\left(\dfrac{1}{3}, - \dfrac{8}{3}\right)

Step-by-step solution

Two sides of a rhombus are along the lines, x - y + 1 = 0 and 7x - y - 5 = 0 . If its diagonals intersect at (- 1, - 2)

d1:y−2=−2−2−1−1(x−1)<br/><br/>{d}_{1}: y - 2 = \dfrac{- 2 - 2}{- 1 - 1}\left(x - 1\right)<br /><br />y - 2 = 2 \left(x - 1\right)<br/><br/><br /><br />y - 2x = 0<br/><br/><br /><br />{d}_{2} ⊥ {d}_{1} ⇒ 2y + x = k, \left(- 1, - 2\right) Lies on it ∴k=−5∴ k = -5

⇒2y+x+5=0⇒ 2y + x + 5 = 0

Now point of intersection of d2andL1{d}_{2} and {L}_{1}
x−y+1=0......(1)x - y + 1 = 0 . . . . . . \left(1\right)

−3y−4=0- 3y - 4 = 0

y=−y = -\dfrac{4}{3}

x+2y+5=0......(3)x + 2y + 5 = 0 . . . . . . \left(3\right)

And y=−y = -\dfrac{8}{3}<br/><br/><br /><br />15x - 5 = 0<br/><br/><br /><br />⇒ x = \dfrac{1}{3}
