Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((-8,8)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of line perpendicular to line \(a x+b y-1=0\) and passes through the origin is \[ b x-a y=0 \] Now, altitude (i) passes through the intersection of lines \(2 x+3 y-1=0\), and \(x+2 y-1=0\) So, \[ \begin{aligned} -b-a & =0 \\ a+b & =0 \end{aligned} \] Due to relation…
