A line \(\mathrm{L}\) has intercepts \(\mathrm{a}\) and \(\mathrm{b}\) on the coordinate axes. When the coordinate axes are rotated through an angle \(\alpha\) keeping the origin fixed, the same line \(\mathrm{L}\) has intercepts \(\mathrm{p}\) and \(q\) on the new axes. Then

  1. A \(a^2+b^2=p^2+q^2\)
  2. B \(a^2+p^2=b^2+q^2\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{a^2}+\frac{1}{p^2}=\frac{1}{b^2}+\frac{1}{q^2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{a^2}+\frac{1}{b^2}=\frac{1}{p^2}+\frac{1}{q^2}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{a^2}+\frac{1}{b^2}=\frac{1}{p^2}+\frac{1}{q^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When axes are rotated through \(\alpha\), new co-ordinates \((x \cos \alpha-y \sin \alpha, x \sin \alpha+y \cos \alpha)\) Original equation of \(L: \frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\) With shifted coordinates,…
