Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let the given point  be $A=(−5,4)$ and the given lines be $l _1 \rightarrow x+y+1=0$ and  $l _2\rightarrow x+y-1=0$

The  point $A$ lies on $l _1$


If segment $AM\perp l _2$ and $M$ lies on $l _2$, then, the distance $ AM$ is given by,


$\Rightarrow AM=\dfrac{|−5+4−1|}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2}}=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt 2}=\sqrt 2$


$\Rightarrow $ This means that if $B$ is any point  on $l _2$ then  $AB>AM$. No line other than $AM$ cuts off an intercept of

length $\sqrt 2$ between $l _1$ and $l _2$.


$\Rightarrow $To determine the equation of $AM$, we need to find the co-ordinates of the Point $M$


Since, $AM\perp l _2$ and  the slope $l _2$ is $−1$, the slope of$AM$ must be $1$.  Also  $A(−5,4)$ lies on $AM$


By the point slope formula, the equation of the required line is


$\Rightarrow  y−4=1(x−(−5))$

$\Rightarrow y-4=x+5$

$\Rightarrow x−y+9=0$

  2. $3x+y+11=0$

  3. $x-y+9=0$

  4. $4x+5y=0$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let the given point be $A=(-5,4)$ and the given lines be,

$L _1:x+y+1=0$ and 
$L _2:x+y-1=0$
Observe that, $A\in L _1$.
If segment $AM\perp L _2,$ $M\in L _2,$ then, the distance $AM$ is given  by,

$\Rightarrow$  $AM=\dfrac{|-5+4-1|}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2}}=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}$

This means that if $B$ is any point on $L _2,$ then, $AB>AM.$
In other words, no line other than $AM$ cuts off an intercept of length $\sqrt{2}$ between $L _1,$ and $L _2$ or $AM$ is the required line.
To determine the equation of $AM,$ we need to find the co-ordinates of the point $M$.
Since, $AM\perp L _2,$ and the slope of $L _2$ is $-1,$ the slope of $AM$ must be $1.$
Further, $A(-5,4)\in AM$
By the slope-point form the equation of the required line is,
$\Rightarrow$  $y-4=1(x-(-5))$
$\Rightarrow$  $y-4=x+5$
$\Rightarrow$  $x-y+9=0$

The equation of a straight line passing through the point (-5,  4) and which cuts off in intercept of $\sqrt { 2 } $ unit. between the lines $x+y+1=0$ and $x+y-1=0$ is:

maths functions and graphs different forms of equation of a line

  1. $2x-y+14=0$

  2. $3x+y+11=0$

  3. $x-y+9=0$

  4. $4x+5y=0$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let the given point be $A\left( {{x} _{1}},{{y} _{1}} \right)=\left( -5,4 \right)$ and the given lines be

$ x+y+1=0\,\,......\,\,\left( 1 \right) $

$ x+y-1=0\,\,......\,\,\left( 2 \right) $

Observe that,

From equation (1) to,

Let AM is perpendicular distance

Then, $AM=\dfrac{\left| -5+4-1 \right|}{\sqrt{{{1}^{2}}+{{1}^{2}}}}=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}$

Let B is any point on equation $(2)$to,

From equation (2)

$ x+y-1=0 $

$ y=-x+1 $

On comparing that,

$y=mx+c$

Then, $m=-1$

Slope of perpendicular line is

${{m} _{1}}=\dfrac{-1}{m}=1$

Then, equation of line is

$ y-{{y} _{1}}=m\left( x-{{x} _{1}} \right) $

$ \Rightarrow y-4=1\left( x+5 \right) $

$ \Rightarrow y-4=x+5 $

$ \Rightarrow x-y+5+4=0 $

$ \Rightarrow x-y+9=0 $

Hence, this is the answer.

A line passing through the points of intersection of $x+y=4$ and $x-y=2$ makes an angle $\tan^{-1}(3/4)$ with the x-axis. It intersects the parabola $y^2=4(x-3)$ at points $(x _1, y _1)$ and $(x _2, y _2)$ respectively. Then $|x _1-x _2|$ is equal to?
