Question


ABCD is a rhombus with the diagonals AC and BD intersecting at the origin on the x y plane. The equation of the straight line AD is x + y =1. What is the equation of BC?  (CAT 2000)


Options:
A .   x + y = -1
B .   x – y = -1
C .   x + y = 1
D .   None of these
Answer: Option A
:
A

ABCD Is A Rhombus With The Diagonals AC And BD Intersecting ...


Slope of line AD= -1


Hence, eqn of BC which passes through (0,-1) and (-1,0) and is parallel to x+y=1 is


(y-0)=-1(x+1)


Y=-x-1 ⇒ x+y= -1. Option (a)
