Q67.If a line L is perpendicular to the line 5x −y = 1, and the area of the triangle formed by the line L and the coordinate axes is 5 sq units, then the distance of the line L from the line x + 5y = 0 is (1) 7 units (2) 7 units √13 √5 (3) 5 units (4) 5 units √13 √7

What This Question Tests

The question involves finding the equation of a line perpendicular to a given line, using the area of the triangle it forms with the coordinate axes, and then calculating the distance to another given line.

Concepts Tested

Slope of perpendicular linesArea of a triangle formed by a line and axesDistance between parallel lines

Formulas Used

m1*m2 = -1

Area = (1/2)|c²/m|

Distance between parallel lines Ax+By+C1=0 and Ax+By+C2=0 is |C1-C2|/√(A²+B²)
