The vertex \(A\) of a triangle lies on the lines \(x+y=1\) and \(2 x+3 y=6\). If the orthocentre of the triangle is \(O\left(\frac{3}{7}, \frac{22}{7}\right)\), then the equation of \(O A\) in the normal form is

  1. A \(x \cos \alpha+y \sin \alpha=7 ; \alpha=\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{7}\)
  2. B \(x \cos \alpha+y \sin \alpha=\frac{13}{\sqrt{17}} ; \alpha=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)\)
  3. C \(x \cos \alpha+y \sin \alpha=\frac{13}{4} ; \alpha=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{13}{\sqrt{17}}\right)\)
  4. D \(x \cos \alpha+y \sin \alpha=\frac{13}{\sqrt{17}} ; \alpha=\tan ^{-1}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(x \cos \alpha+y \sin \alpha=\frac{13}{\sqrt{17}} ; \alpha=\tan ^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Vertex \(A\) is point of intersection of the lines \(x+y=1\) and \(2 x+3 y=6\) Point of intersection \(=(-3,4)\) So, \(A(-3,4)\) and \(O\left(\frac{3}{7}, \frac{22}{7}\right)\) Equation of line passing through two points…
