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

Let a variable line of slope \(m>0\) passing through the point \((4,-9)\) intersect the coordinate axes at the points \(A\) and \(B\). the minimum value of the sum of the distances of \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) from the origin is

  1. A \(25\)
  2. B \(30\)
  3. C \(15\)
  4. D \(10\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

equation of line is \( y+9=m(x-4) \) \( \therefore \quad A=\left(\frac{9+4 m}{m}, 0\right) \) \( \quad B=(0,-9-4 m) \) \( \therefore \quad O A+O B=\frac{9+4 m}{m}+9+4 m\) \( \because \mathrm{m}>0 \) \( =13+\frac{9}{\mathrm{~m}}+4 \mathrm{~m} \)…
