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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{h-2}{1}=\frac{k-4}{1}=-\frac{(2+4-1)}{1^2+1^2}\) \(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad h=2-\frac{5}{2} \text { and } k=4-\frac{5}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad h=-\frac{1}{2} \text { and } k=\frac{3}{2}\end{aligned}\) \(\therefore\) Equation of line passing through \((0,0)\)…
