Question

 

Find the direction in which a straight line must be drawn through the point (1, 2) so that its point of intersection with the line

x + y = 4 may be at a distance  from this point. 

Solution

Correct option is

15o, 75o

 

Let the straight line makes an angle θ with the positive direction of x-axis. 

∴ Equation of the line through (1, 2) in parametric form is  

                                        

   

  

Since the point  lies on the line

x + y = 4  

  

  

  

         

for n = 0, 

       

           = 15o, 75o.
