Multiple choice

On a graph paper, an insect moves from origin O and covers a distance of 4√3 in the direction of 60° east of north and reaches point A. Then, it turns and moves due south and reaches point B on x-axis and again it turns and reaches to the origin. What is the equation of line AB?

  1. x = 6

  2. y = 6

  3. y = x - 6

  4. y = x + 6

  5. cannot be determined

A Correct answer
Explanation

Since the insect turns and moves due south and cuts the x-axis at point B, the coordinates of point B are (6,0). (As x= 6 units from origin in the projection of A) Equation of the line is  x= 6 (Correct Answer)
