Let alpha chord of a circle be that chor...

Let `alpha` chord of a circle be that chord of the circle which subtends an angle `alpha` at the center.
If the slope of a `pi//3` chord of `x^(2)+y^(2)=4 ` is 1, then its equation is

A

`x-y+sqrt(6)=0`

B

`x-y=2sqrt(3)`

C

`x-y=sqrt(3)`

D

`x-y+sqrt(3)=0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1
Slope of chord `=1`.
since the chord is a `pi//3` chord, its distance from the origin is `sqrt(3)`.
Let the equation of the chrod be` x-y+k=0` . Then ,
`|(k)/(sqrt(2))|= sqrt(3)`
i.e., `k= +- sqrt(6)`
