passes through the point 
meets the line 
whose equation is 
at the point 
. The equation to the line 
so that 
, is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Slopes of the lines 
and
are -4 and 
respectively
If 
be the angle between 
and 
, then
Given, 
Thus the line 
also makes an angle 
with 
.
If 
be the slope of the line 
, then its equation is,
Now 
or 
.
But slope of 
is -4 , therefore slope of 
is 
.
Hence, the equation of line 
given by (ii) is
