Combined equation of lines
So for minimum area,
then
Now,
is parallelogram
Now
Equation of
Equation of
Equation of
The line nearest to origin is parallel to
and inward. Let its equation is
.
required equation line is :
To solve this problem, we will use the concept of the slope and tangent of the angle subtended by the line segments at the origin.
Given points:
and
The slope of the line joining the origin and
is:
The slope of the line joining the origin and
is:
The line segment joining these points subtends an angle
at the origin. According to the tangent formula for the angle between two lines:
Here,
so,
. Therefore,
This simplifies to:
Multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 10 to simplify:
This leads to two equations due to the absolute value: 1.
2.
Thus, the possible values of
are
and
. The product of these values is:
Therefore, the absolute value of the product of all possible values of
is 4. Answer: Option A
From here,
(
is isosceles triangle) Let slope of line
So, equation
Point of intersection of
& line
is
=
Replacing
and
.
