TS EAMCET · Maths · Straight Lines

A straight line parallel to the line \(y=\sqrt{3} x\) passes through \(Q(2,3)\) and cuts the line \(2 x+4 y-27=0\) at \(P\). Then the length of the line segment \(\mathrm{PQ}\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\sqrt{3}-1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Slope of parallel lines are equal \(\therefore\) slope of line parallel to \(P Q=\sqrt{3}\) \[ \therefore \theta=60^{\circ} \] \(\mathrm{P}\) is a point at \(\mathrm{r}\) distance from \(\mathrm{Q}\) \(\therefore\) Co-ordinates of \(\mathrm{Q}\)…
