The perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining P(1, 4) and Q(k, 3) has y-intercept – 4. Then a possible value of k is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Slope of PQ = 
Hence equation of line ⊥ to PQ line
y – 
= (k – 1) 
Put x = 0
y = 
+ 
= –4
7 + (1 – k 2 ) = –8 ⇒ k 2 = 16 ⇒ k = ±4.
Hence possible answer = –4.
