JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Rectangular Cartesian Coordinates Question Bank Transformation of axes and Locus

  • question_answer
    The locus of a point P which moves in such a way that the segment OP, where O is the origin, has slope \[\sqrt{3}\] is

    A) \[x-\sqrt{3}y=0\]

    B) \[x+\sqrt{3}y=0\]

    C) \[\sqrt{3}x+y=0\]

    D) \[\sqrt{3}x-y=0\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Slope is given by \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\sqrt{3}\,\,\Rightarrow \,\int_{{}}^{{}}{dy}=\sqrt{3}\int_{{}}^{{}}{dx}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\sqrt{3}x-y+c=0\] This passes through (0, 0), so c = 0 Hence the required locus is \[\sqrt{3}x-y=0\].
