JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Pair of Straight Lines Question Bank Equation of lines joining the origin to the point of intersection of a curve and a line and Distance between the pair of lines

  • question_answer
    The equation of pair of straight lines joining the point of intersection of the curve \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=4\] and \[y-x=2\] to the origin, is

    A)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}={{(y-x)}^{2}}\]                              

    B)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{(y-x)}^{2}}=0\]

    C)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=4{{(y-x)}^{2}}\]                           

    D)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+4{{(y-x)}^{2}}=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Equation can be found by homogenising the curve w.r.t. line.            i.e., \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=4{{\left( \frac{y-x}{2} \right)}^{2}}\]or \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}={{(y-x)}^{2}}\].
