Equation of line in Straight lines
Question

 Let the perpendiculars from any point on the line 2x+11y=5 upon the lines  24x+7y20=0 and 4x3y2=0 have the lengths p1 and p2 respectively. then, p1-p2 is equal to

Moderate
Solution

Let t,52t11 be a point on the line 2x+11y=5.

Then,

p1=24t+752t1120242+72=|50t37|55

and p2=4t352t11242+(3)2=|50t37|55

Clearly, we have p1=p2

ALITER: Clearly, 2x+11y=5  is the angle bisector of the two 

lines. Therefore p1=p2
