let L1 be a straight line through the origin and L2 be the straight line x+y=1.if the intercept made by the circle x²+y²-x+3y=0 on L1 and L2 are equal, then which of the following represents L1?one answer is x-y=0 that answer i have got but how to get second answer that is x-7y=0

It’s simple Lets say L1 is y=mx Then as chords are equal the perpendicular distance from the center of the circle should also be same center is (1/2,-3/2) so we have (by equating the perpendicular distance from center to L1 and L2)
squaring and simplifying we get the quadratic as
whose roots are m=1,-1/7 so possible values of L1 are x=y and x = -7y
