Answer» Correct Answer - B The joint equation of straight line `y = x -1` and `y =- x +1` is `(x-y-1) (x+y-1) =0` `rArr x^(2) -y^(2) -2x +1 =0` (i) Let equation of line passes through (2,0) is `y = m (x-2)` By homogenizing equation (i) with help of line (ii), we get `x^(2)-y^(2)-2x ((mx-y)/(2m)) +((mx-y)/(2m))^(2) =0` This is pair of straight line through origin. Since these lines are perpendicular, Coefficiennt of `x^(2) +` coefficient of `y^(2) =0` `rArr m = +- (1)/(sqrt(3))` |
