Number of lines drawn from the point (4, –5) so that its distance from (–2, 3) will be equal to 12 are-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
If possible equation of line is y + 5 = m(x – 4)
⇒ y – mx + 4m + 5 = 0
then 
= 12
⇒ (8 + 6m) 2 = 144 (1 + m 2 )
⇒ 27 m 2 – 24 m + 20 = 0
Here discriminate < 0
there for no such line possible for real value of m.
