9.Straight Line
hard
The ends of the base of an isosceles triangle are at $(2a,\;0)$ and $(0,\;a).$ The equation of one side is $x=2a$ The equation of the other side is
A
$x + 2y - a = 0$
B
$x + 2y = 2a$
C
$3x + 4y - 4a = 0$
D
$3x - 4y + 4a = 0$
Solution

(d) Obviously, other line $AB$ will pass through $(0, a)$ and $(2a,k)$.
But as we are given $AB = AC$
$ \Rightarrow k = \sqrt {4{a^2} + {{(k – a)}^2}} $==> $k = \frac{{5a}}{2}$
Hence the required equation is $3x – 4y + 4a = 0$.
