Question Number 47457 by rahul 19 last updated on 10/Nov/18

A straight line through (2,2) intersects  lines (√3)x+y=0 and (√3)x−y=0 at pts.  A & B respectively. Find equation  of line AB so that ΔOAB is equilateral?

$${A}\:{straight}\:{line}\:{through}\:\left(\mathrm{2},\mathrm{2}\right)\:{intersects} \\ $$ $${lines}\:\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{x}+{y}=\mathrm{0}\:{and}\:\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{x}−{y}=\mathrm{0}\:{at}\:{pts}. \\ $$ $${A}\:\&\:{B}\:{respectively}.\:{Find}\:{equation} \\ $$ $${of}\:{line}\:{AB}\:{so}\:{that}\:\Delta{OAB}\:{is}\:{equilateral}? \\ $$

(√3)x+y=0 makes an angle of 120° with  OX whereas (√3)x−y=0 makes an angle  of 60° with OX.   ∴ required line is y=2.

$$\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{x}+{y}=\mathrm{0}\:{makes}\:{an}\:{angle}\:{of}\:\mathrm{120}°\:{with} \\ $$ $${OX}\:{whereas}\:\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{x}−{y}=\mathrm{0}\:{makes}\:{an}\:{angle} \\ $$ $${of}\:\mathrm{60}°\:{with}\:{OX}.\: \\ $$ $$\therefore\:{required}\:{line}\:{is}\:{y}=\mathrm{2}. \\ $$

this is hint given....  I want to know whether any other   line satisfies the condition or is it  unique ?

y=2 is the unique solution.

$${y}=\mathrm{2}\:{is}\:{the}\:{unique}\:{solution}. \\ $$
