In an isosceles \(\triangle A B C\), the coordinates of vertices \(B\) and \(C\) of the base \(B C\) are \((3,2)\) and \((2,3)\) respectively. If the equation of the line \(A B\) is \(3 y=2 x\), then the equation of the line \(A C\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 y=3 x\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\triangle A B C\) is an isosceles triangle \(B \equiv(3,2)\) and \(C \equiv(2,3)\) \(B\) and \(C\) are symmetric about the line \(y=x\) Equation of \(A B=3 y=2 x\) Equation of \(A C\) is symmetric about \(y=x\) \(\therefore\) Equation of \(A C=2 y=3 x\)
