JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2019 - 8th April Morning Slot - No. 14)

A point on the straight line, 3x + 5y = 15 which is equidistant from the coordinate axes will lie only in :
1st and 2nd qudratants
4th qudratant
1st and 2nd and 4th qudratants
1st qudratant

Explanation


Let the point is P(x, y).

According to the question, the point P(x, y) is equidistance from both x and y axis.

$$ \therefore $$ |x| = |y|

$$ \Rightarrow $$ x = $$ \pm $$ y

So the point P lies on the either x = y or x = - y line. And point P(x, y) also lies on the straight line 3x + 5y = 15.

Form the graph, you can see the point P can either be on 1st qudratant or 2nd qudratant.
