$A(-1, 1)$, $B(5, 3)$ are opposite vertices of a square in $xy$-plane. The equation of the other diagonal (not passing through $(A, B)$ of the square is given by

A

$x - 3y + 4 = 0$

B

$2x - y + 3 = 0$

C

$y + 3x - 8 = 0$

D

$x + 2y - 1 = 0$

Solution

(c) The required diagonal passes through the mid-point of $AB$ and is perpendicular to $AB$. So its equation is $y – 2 = – 3(x – 2)$ or $3x + y – 8 = 0$.
