If two equal sides of an isosceles triangle are given by the equations \(7 x-y+3=0\) and \(x+y-3=0\), then the equation of its third side passing through the point \((2,-5)\) is

  1. A \(x-3 y=17\)
  2. B \(3 x-y=11\)
  3. C \(7 x+2 y=4\)
  4. D none of these

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x-3 y=17\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The third side of the isosceles triangle is parallel to the angle bisector of the given lines \(7 x-y+3=0\) and \(x+y-3=0\). Now, the equation of angle bisectors are \(\frac{7 x-y+3}{\sqrt{50}}= \pm \frac{x+y-3}{\sqrt{2}}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 7 x-y+3= \pm 5(x+y-3)\) or…
