Find the equations of the straight lines passing through the intersection point of the lines x - 2y - 5 = 0 and 7x + y = 50, which cut the circle x² + y² = 100 into two arcs whose lengths are in the ratio 2: 1.
- 3x + 4y = 25 and 4x - 3y = 25
- 3x - 4y = 25 and 4x + 3y = 25
- x + y = 8 and x - y = 6
- 3x + 4y = 50 and 4x - 3y = 50
Correct answer: 3x + 4y = 25 and 4x - 3y = 25
Solution
The two lines meet at (7, 1). A 2:1 arc split needs a 120 deg central angle, giving a chord at distance 10*cos(60 deg) = 5 from the centre. The two required lines through (7,1) at distance 5 from the origin are 3x + 4y = 25 and 4x - 3y = 25.
