JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 9. straight line

A straight line \(L\) at a distance of \(4\) units from the origin makes positive intercepts on the coordinate axes and the perpendicular from the origin to this line makes an angle of \(60^o\) with the line \(x + y = 0\). Then an equation of the line \(L\) is

  1. A \(\left( {\sqrt 3  - 1} \right)x + \left( {\sqrt 3  + 1} \right)y = 4\sqrt 2 \)
  2. B \(\sqrt 3 x + y = 8\)
  3. C \(x + \sqrt 3 y = 8\)
  4. D \(\left( {\sqrt 3  + 1} \right)x + \left( {\sqrt 3  - 1} \right)y = 8\sqrt 2 \)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left( {\sqrt 3  + 1} \right)x + \left( {\sqrt 3  - 1} \right)y = 8\sqrt 2 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(OP = 4\) given \(OP\) makes \({60^o}\) with \(x+y=0\) Let slope of \(OP=m\) \( \Rightarrow \tan \,{60^o} = \left| {\frac{{m + 1}}{{1 - m}}} \right|\) \( \Rightarrow \frac{{m + 1}}{{1 - m}} = \sqrt 3 \) or \( - \sqrt 3 \) \(m + 1 = \sqrt {3m} - 3\) or…
