Let 2a + 2b + c = 0, then the equation of the straight lineax + fry + c = 0 which is farthest from the point (1,1) is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
y + x = 4

All the lines ax + by + c = 0 pass through the point (2,2).
The line passing through (2,2) & farthest from (1,1) is perpendicular to the line joining (1,1) & (2,2)
Now, the slope of the line joining (1,1) & (2,2) is
= 1
The slope of the required line is -1
Required line is
= -1
y+x=4
