Let the equations of side B C and the internal angle bisector of angle B of Δ A B C are 2 x - 5 y + a = 0 and y + x = 0 respectively. If A = 2,3 , then the value of a is equal to
Options
- A4
- B2
- C– 2
- D– 4
Correct answer
D. – 4
Step-by-step solution
Reflection of A 2,3 about line y + x = 0 is A ' - 3 , - 2 which lies on side B C ⇒ 2 - 3 - 5 - 2 + a = 0 ⇒ a = - 4
