JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Straight Line Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Straight Lines & Pair Striaght Lines

  • question_answer
    The equation \[8{{x}^{2}}+8xy+2{{y}^{2}}+26x+13y+15=0\] represents a pair of straight lines. The distance between them is

    A) \[7/\sqrt{5}\]

    B) \[7/2\sqrt{5}\]

    C) \[\sqrt{7}/5\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] The distance between the parallel straight lines given by \[a{{x}^{2}}+2hxy+b{{y}^{2}}+2gx+2fy+c=0\] is \[2\sqrt{\frac{{{g}^{2}}-ac}{a(a+b)}}\] Here, \[a=8,\,\,b=2,\,\,c=15,\,\,g=13\] So, req. distance \[=2\sqrt{\frac{169-120}{80}}=2\times \frac{7}{4\sqrt{5}}=\frac{7}{2\sqrt{5}}\]
