A straight line 4 x + y - 1 = 0 through the point A ( 2 , - 7 ) meets the line B C whose equation is 3 x - 4…

A straight line 4x+y-1=0 through the point A(2,-7) meets the line BC whose equation is 3x-4y+1=0 at the point B. Then the equation of the line AC such that AB=AC, is
  1. 89x-52y-162=0
  2. 52x+89y+519=0
  3. 4x-y-15=0
  4. 4x+3y+13=0

Solution

The equation of line given as 4x+y-1=0, 3x-4y+1=0.

The slopes of line are m1=-4 and m2=34.

Triangle ABC is an isosceles; AB=AC.

AB and AC both pass through points (2,-7).

The slope is,

m3=-4-341+(-4)34=198

The required equation of line AC is,

y+7x-2=34-1981+34×198

After simplification,

89y+623=-52x+104

52x+89y+519=0
