Q. Let the equations of side $BC$ and the internal angle bisector of angle $B$ of $Δ A BC$ are $2 x - 5 y + a = 0$ and $y + x = 0$ respectively. If $A = (2, 3)$ , then the value of $a$ is equal to

$4$

$- 2$

$- 4$

Reflection of $A (2, 3)$ about line $y + x = 0$ is $A^{'} (- 3, - 2)$ which lies on side $BC$
$\Rightarrow$ $2 (- 3) - 5 (- 2) + a = 0 \Rightarrow a = - 4$

Q. Let the equations of side BC and the internal angle bisector of angle B of ΔABC are 2x−5y+a=0 and y+x=0 respectively. If A=(2,3) , then the value of a is equal to

Reflection of A(2,3) about line y+x=0 is A′(−3,−2) which lies on side BC ⇒ 2(−3)−5(−2)+a=0⇒a=−4

Q. Let the equations of side $BC$ and the internal angle bisector of angle $B$ of $Δ A BC$ are $2 x - 5 y + a = 0$ and $y + x = 0$ respectively. If $A = (2, 3)$ , then the value of $a$ is equal to

$- 4$

Reflection of $A (2, 3)$ about line $y + x = 0$ is $A^{'} (- 3, - 2)$ which lies on side $BC$
$\Rightarrow$ $2 (- 3) - 5 (- 2) + a = 0 \Rightarrow a = - 4$
