Two sides of a parallelogram are along the lines 4x+5y=0 and 7x+2y=0 . If the equation of one of the diagonals of the parallelogram is 11x+7y=9, then other diagonal passes through the point:
  1. 1,2
  2. 2,2
  3. 2,1
  4. 1,3

Solution

Both the lines 4x+5y=0,7x+2y=0 pass through origin.

D is the point of intersection of 4x+5y=0 & 11x+7y=9

So upon solving we get the coordinates of point D=53,-43

Also, point B is the point of intersection of 7x+2y=0 & 11x+7y=9

So, coordinates of point B=-23,73

The diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other, so the mid point of BD is

53-232,-43+732=12,12

The equation of diagonal AC is

y-0=12-012-0x-0 i.e., y=x

Therefore, the diagonal AC passes through 2,2.
