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

Suppose that the points \((h, k), (1, 2)\) and \((-3, 4)\) lie on the line \(L_1\). If a line \(L_2\) passing through the points \((h, k)\) and \((4, 3)\) is perpendicular to \(L_1\), then \(\frac{k}{h}\) equals

  1. A \(-\frac{1}{7}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{3}\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

equation of \({L_1}\) is \(x + 2y = 5\) and equation or \({L_2}\) is \(2x - y = 5\) Their point of intersection is \((3,1)\) \( \Rightarrow \frac{k}{h} = \frac{1}{3}\)
