- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- DNone of the above
Solution
The given straight lines are and . Clearly, these straight lines are perpendicular to each other and intersect at . Now, and are points on these lines such that and passes through .
From figure it is clear that

Let slope of be . Then,
or
or
Hence, equation of is
or
or
or
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
