If a straight line perpendicular to \(2 x-3 y+7=0\) forms a triangle with the co-ordinate axes whose area is 3 sq. units, then the equation of the straight line is :

  1. A \(3 x+2 y= \pm 2\)
  2. B \(3 x+2 y= \pm 6\)
  3. C \(3 x+2 y= \pm 4\)
  4. D \(3 x+2 y= \pm 8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3 x+2 y= \pm 6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given line is \(2 x-3 y+7=0\) A perpendicular line to given line is \[ 3 x+2 y+k=0 \] Put \(y=0 \Rightarrow 3 x+k=0\) \[ x=-\frac{k}{3} \] Put \(x=0 \Rightarrow 0+2 y+k=0\) \[ y=-\frac{k}{2} \] Area of the triangle \(O A B=\frac{1}{2} \cdot O A \cdot O B\)…
