The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the equations of lines that pass through the point (1, 0) and are at a distance of \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) units from the origin. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Point and Distance**: - The point through which the lines pass is \( (1, 0) \). - The distance from the origin (0, 0) to the line is given as \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \). 2. **Equation of the Line**: - Let the slope of the line be \( m \). The equation of the line in point-slope form is: \[ y - 0 = m(x - 1) \implies y = mx - m \] - Rearranging gives: \[ mx - y - m = 0 \] 3. **Distance from the Origin to the Line**: - The formula for the distance \( d \) from a point \( (x_0, y_0) \) to the line \( Ax + By + C = 0 \) is: \[ d = \frac{|Ax_0 + By_0 + C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}} \] - Here, \( A = m \), \( B = -1 \), and \( C = -m \). The distance from the origin (0, 0) to the line is: \[ \frac{|m(0) - 1(0) - m|}{\sqrt{m^2 + (-1)^2}} = \frac{| - m |}{\sqrt{m^2 + 1}} = \frac{m}{\sqrt{m^2 + 1}} \] - Setting this equal to \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \): \[ \frac{m}{\sqrt{m^2 + 1}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] 4. **Cross-Multiplying**: - Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 2m = \sqrt{3} \sqrt{m^2 + 1} \] - Squaring both sides results in: \[ 4m^2 = 3(m^2 + 1) \implies 4m^2 = 3m^2 + 3 \] - Rearranging gives: \[ m^2 = 3 \implies m = \pm \sqrt{3} \] 5. **Finding the Equations of the Lines**: - For \( m = \sqrt{3} \): \[ y = \sqrt{3}(x - 1) \implies y = \sqrt{3}x - \sqrt{3} \implies \sqrt{3}x - y - \sqrt{3} = 0 \] - For \( m = -\sqrt{3} \): \[ y = -\sqrt{3}(x - 1) \implies y = -\sqrt{3}x + \sqrt{3} \implies \sqrt{3}x + y - \sqrt{3} = 0 \] 6. **Final Equations**: - The equations of the lines are: \[ \sqrt{3}x - y - \sqrt{3} = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad \sqrt{3}x + y - \sqrt{3} = 0 \] ### Conclusion: The correct option is (ii) \( \sqrt{3}x + y + \sqrt{3} = 0, \sqrt{3}x - y + \sqrt{3} = 0 \).
