Two sides of a rhombus are along the lines \(x-y+1=0\) and \(7 x-y-5=0\). If its diagonals intersect at \((-1,-2)\), then one of the vertices of this rhombus is

  1. A \((3,16)\)
  2. B \((-1,-12)\)
  3. C \(\left(\frac{1}{3}, \frac{-8}{3}\right)\)
  4. D \((2,9)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(\frac{1}{3}, \frac{-8}{3}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of lines of two sides of rhombus are \(x-y+1=0 \& 7 x-y-5=0\) On solving these two equation, we get \((x, y)=(1,2)=\) point of intersection of two sides. So equation of diagonal passing through \((1,2)\) and \((-1,-2)\)…
