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

Two equal sides of an isosceles triangle are along \(-x+2 y=4\) and \(x+y=4\). If m is the slope of its third side, then the sum, of all possible distinct values of \(m\), is :

  1. A \(-2 \sqrt{10}\)
  2. B \(12\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(-6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Slope of the third side = slope of the perpendicular bisector of given lines \(h: \frac{-x+2 y-4}{\sqrt{5}}= \pm \frac{x+y-4}{\sqrt{2}}\) \(h_1: \sqrt{2}(-x+2 y-4)=\sqrt{5}(x+y-4) \) \( h_2: \sqrt{2}(-x+2 y-4)=-\sqrt{5}(x+y-4) \)…
