JEE MainMathematicsStraight Lines and Pair of Straight LinesMCQ+4 / −1
The equation of one of the straight lines which passes through the point (1, 3) and makes an angles with the straight line, y + 1 = 3 x is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Given line and its slope
The given line is So, Hence its slope is
- Required angle condition
We need a line through making angle with the given line.
If the required line has slope , then angle between two lines satisfies Thus,
So we solve:
- Find possible slopes
Case 1:
Then,
Case 2:
Then,
So the two possible slopes are
- Equation of lines through
Using point-slope form:
For :
This matches Option A.
For :
This is not among the options.
- Check options
- A: ✓
- B: slope , not valid.
- C: does not pass through .
- D: slope , not valid.
Therefore, the correct option is:
