JEE MainMathematicsStraight Lines and Pair of Straight LinesMCQ+4 / −1
The straight lines and pass through the origin and trisect the line segment of the line L : between the axes. If and are the slopes of the lines and , then the point of intersection of the line with L lies on :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Find the intercepts of .
-
On the -axis, : So one endpoint is .
-
On the -axis, : So the other endpoint is .
Thus, the line segment between the axes is the segment joining and .
-
-
Find the trisection points of this segment.
A point dividing the segment from to in the ratio is
The other trisection point dividing in the ratio is
-
Since and pass through the origin and these trisection points, their slopes are:
-
Compute .
So the required line is
-
Find its intersection with .
Substitute into :
Then
So the intersection point is
-
Check which option passes through .
-
A: Not correct.
-
B: Not correct.
-
C: Correct.
-
D: Not correct.
-
-
Therefore, the correct option is
