AP EAMCET · Maths · Straight Lines

A straight line \(\mathrm{L}\) at a distance of 4 units from the origin makes positive intercepts on the coordinate axes and the perpendicular drawn from the origin to this line makes an angle of \(60^{\circ}\) with the line \(x+y=0\). Then the equation of the line \(\mathrm{L}\) is

  1. A \((\sqrt{3}+1) x+(\sqrt{3}-1) y=8 \sqrt{2}\)
  2. B \((\sqrt{3}-1) x+(\sqrt{3}+1) y=8 \sqrt{2}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{3} x+y=8\)
  4. D \(x+\sqrt{3} y=8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((\sqrt{3}-1) x+(\sqrt{3}+1) y=8 \sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given: \(O P=4 \mathrm{~cm}\) Slope of \(y+x=0\) is -1 . Slope of \(O P\) is \(\alpha\). Then, \(60+\alpha=135^{\circ} \Rightarrow \alpha=75^{\circ}\) Now, \(\cos 75^{\circ}=\cos \left(30^{\circ}+45^{\circ}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2 \sqrt{2}}-\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\)…
