The perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining A 1 , 4 and B t , 3 has y -intercept equal to - 4 . Then, the product of all possible values of t is equal to
Options
- A1
- B2
- C- 16
- D- 4
Correct answer
C. - 16
Step-by-step solution
The slope of the perpendicular bisector = t - 1 The mid-point of the line segment = t + 1 2 , 7 2 ∴ Equation of the bisector is y - 7 2 = t - 1 x - t + 1 2 Putting x = 0 and y = - 4 , we get, t = ± 4 Hence, the required product = 4 - 4 = - 16
