AP EAMCET · Maths · Straight Lines

A straight line \(\frac{x}{a}-\frac{y}{b}=1\) passes through the point \((8,6)\) and cuts a triangle of area 12 sq units from the axes of coordinates. The equations of the straight lines are

  1. A \(3 x+12 y=12\) and \(3 x+8 y=24\)
  2. B \(3 x-2 y-12=0\) and \(3 x-8 y+24=0\)
  3. C \(2 x+3 y=12\) and \(8 x+3 y=24\)
  4. D \(2 x-3 y+12=0\) and \(8 x+3 y+24=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3 x-2 y-12=0\) and \(3 x-8 y+24=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A straight line \(\frac{x}{a}-\frac{y}{b}=1\) passes thought \((8,6)\). Then, \(\frac{8}{a}-\frac{6}{b}=1...(i)\) Area of triangle formed by axis and line \(=12 \mathrm{sq}\) unit…
