Options
- A5
- B13
- C-2
- D26
Correct answer
B. 13
Step-by-step solution
Slope of the given line, x - 2 y = 4 is 1 2 Equation of a line passing through A(6, 1) and perpendicular to given line is y - 1 = - 2 x - 6 ⇒ y - 1 = - 2 x + 12 ⇒ 2 x + y = 13 ⇒ x 13 2 + y 13 = 1 ∴ y-intercept of the obtained line is 13.
