The line L has intercepts a and b on the co-ordinate axes. Keeping the origin fixed, the co-ordinate axes are rotated through a fixed angle. The line L has now intercepts p and q on the rotated axes. Then
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The equation of the line L is x/a + y/b = 1. . . . . . (1)
After the rotation of the axes, the line L has intercepts p and q on the new axes.
In this system equation of the line is x/p + y/q = 1.
Since the origin and the line, both are fixed, the distance between them remains the same.
