The line 3x -4 y + 7 = 0 is rotated through an angle 
in the clockwise direction about the point (-1, 1). The equation of the line in its new position is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
7x + x-6 = 0
As (- 1, 1) is a point on 3x - 4y + 7 = 0, the rotation is possible.
Slope of the given line = 
Slope of the line in its new position 
Therefore, the required equation is y - 1 = - 
(x + 1) or 7y + x -6 = 0
