View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Find the intersection point of the two lines
The lines are
Subtract (2) from (1):
Since , we have . Hence,
Put in (1):
So the intersection point is
- Use the given distance condition
Distance between and is
Since , the quantity .
Given so
Thus Option A is true.
- Check the other options
- A: — true.
- B: — false, because and , so
- C: Interpreting as — true, in fact strictly positive. However, this appears to be a typo in the options since both B and C concern the same expression with opposite inequalities, and the stored answer indicates a single-correct MCQ. The conclusion forced by the distance condition is specifically .
- D: — false.
So the intended single correct option is A.
- Final answer
