Locus of the intersection of the two str...

Locus of the intersection of the two straight lines passing through `(1,0) and (-1,0)` respectively and including an angle of `45^@` can be a circle with (a) centre `(1,0)` and radius `sqrt(2)` (b) centre `(1,0)` and radius 2 (c) centre `(0,1)` and radius `sqrt(2)` (d) centre `(0,-1)` and radius `sqrt(2)`

A

curve `(1,0)` and radius `sqrt(2)`

B

centre `(1,0)` and radius 2

C

centre `(0,1)` and radius `sqrt(2)`

D

centre `(0,-1)` and radius `sqrt(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D


Clearly, `m_(1) = (k)/(h-1)` and `m_(2) =(k)/(h+1)`
`:. tan 45^(@) =|((k)/(h-1)-(k)/(h+1))/(1+(k^(2))/(h^(2)-1))|=|(k(h+1-h+1))/(h^(2)-1+k^(2))|`
`rArr h^(2) + k^(2) - 1 = +-2 k`
Locus is: `x^(2) + y^(2) +- 2y -1 =0`
or `x^(2) + (+-1)^(2) =2`
Thus, centre is (0,1) or `(0,-1)` and radius is `sqrt(2)`.
