A.
x - 3y = -2
B.
3x + y = 4
Answer
C.

D.
x - 3y = 2

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Coordinate Geometry mcq question image
Slope of line PR

∴ Slope of line QS = -3 = m2 {As it is perpendicular to PR}
Coordinates of point O

∴ Equation of line QS which passes through point O(1, 1)
⇒ y - 1 = m2(x - 1)
⇒ y - 1 = -3(x - 1)
⇒ y - 1 = -3x + 3
⇒ 3x + y = 4
