WBJEE · Maths · Straight Lines

Straight lines \(x-y=7\) and \(x+4 y=2\) intersect at \(B\). Points \(A\) and \(C\) are so chosen on these two lines such that \(A B=A C\). The equation of line \(A C\) passing through (2,-7) is

  1. A \(x-y-9=0\)
  2. B \(23 x+7 y+3=0\)
  3. C \(2 x-y-11=0\)
  4. D \(7 x-6 y-56=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(23 x+7 y+3=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equations of lines are \(x-y=7\) ....(i) and \(x+4y=2\) ...(ii) By solving Eqs.(i) and (ii), we get the point \(B(6,-1)\) Let the slope of \(A C\) be \(m\) then, \(A B=A C\)…
