20. Five mark example problem III

Two buildings of different heights are located at opposite sides of each other. If a heavy rod is attached joining the terrace of the buildings from \((6,10)\) to \((14,12)\), find the equation of the rod joining the buildings.

 

 

Answer:

 

The equation of the rod joining the buildings is \(x + 4y - 34 = 0\)\(x - 4y + 34 = 0\)\(x - 4y - 34 = 0\)\(x + 4y + 34 = 0\)
