Answer:

Let a be equal interest made b straight line from both axis
Then, Equation of line xa+yb=1        .....(1)
Since, the given the passes through (1, –2)
--1a=1

Question 2:

Find the equation of the line passing through the point (5, 2) and perpendicular to the line joining the points (2, 3) and (3, – 1).

Answer:

Slope of line passing through (2, 3) and (3, –1)
-1-33-2
= –4
Slope of line perpendicular to given line
=-1-4          [ m1m2=-1]=14
Equation of line passing through (5, 2) is:
y – 2 = 1
= x – 4y + 3 = 0.
Hence, equation of line is x – 4y + 3 = 0.

Question 3:

Find the angle between the lines y=2-3 x+5 and y=2+3 x-7.

Answer:

Let slope of y(2-3) (x + 5) be n1,
∴ n1=2-3
Also, slope of y = (2+3) (x-7) be n2
m2=2+3
Let θ be angle between these lines 
tan θ=n1-n21+m1m2=(2-3)-(2+3)1+(2-3) (2+3)=-231+4-3=3
∴ θ = 60º

Question 4:

Find the equation of the lines which passes through the point (3, 4) and cuts off intercepts from the coordinate axes such that their sum is 14.

Answer:

Let the equation of line be
xa+yb=1                           .....(1)
Since a + b = 14
b = 14 – a.
 xa+y14-a=1x(14-a)+yaa(14-a)=1          .....(2)
Since, Eq(2) passes through (3, 4) then
3(14-a)+4aa(14-a)=1
a2 – 13a + 42 = 0
⇒ (a – 6) (a – 7) = 0
a = 6, 7
If a = 6, b = 8. then Equation of line will be x + y = 7.

Question 5:

Find the points on the line x + y = 4 which lie at a unit distance from the line 4x + 3y = 10.

Answer:

Let the required point be (α, β)
Now, α + β = 4             .....(1)
Also, distance of point (α, β) from 4x + 3y = 10
4α + 3β-1042+32=1
⇒ 4α + 3β – 10 = +5
⇒ 4λ + 3k = 15           .....(2)
⇒ 4λ + 3k = 5             .....(3)
Solving (1) & (2), we get
α = 3, β = 1  i.e. (3, 1)
Solving (1) and (3), we get
α = –7  β = 11  i.e., (–7, 11)

Question 6:

Show that the tangent of an angle between the lines 1xa+yb=1 and xa-yb=1 is 2aba2-b2.

Answer:

Slope of xa+yb=1 is m1
i.e., m1=-ba
Slope of line xa-yb=1 is m2
m2=ba.
Let θ be the angle between given lines
tan θ=m1-m21+m1m2=-ba-ba1+-baba=-2baa2-b2a2=2aba2-b2
Thus, tan θ is 2aba2-b2.

Question 7:

Find the equation of lines passing through (1, 2) and making angle 30° with y-axis.

Answer:

Given, line passes from point (1, 2) and makes an angle 30º with y-axis.
∴ Angle with x-axis is 60º.
Slope of line = tan 60º = 3.
So, Equation of line
y-2=3(x-1)y-2=3x-33x-y=3-2
Thus, the equation of line is 3x-y=3-2

Question 8:

Find the equation of the line passing through the point of intersection of 2x + y = 5 and x + 3y + 8 = 0 and parallel to the line 3x + 4y = 7.

Answer:

Let the common point of intersection of lines 2x + y = 5 and x + 3y + 8 = 0 be (h, k)
2h + k = 5                .....(1)
h + 3k = –8              .....(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get
h, k=235, -215
Let slope of line 3x + 4y = 7 is m
i.e., m=-34.
∴ Equation of line y+215=-34x-235
⇒ 3x + 4y + 3 = 0.

Question 9:

For what values of a and b the intercepts cut off on the coordinate axes by the line ax + by + 8 = 0 are equal in length but opposite in signs to those cut off by the line 2x – 3y + 6 = 0 on the axes.

Answer:

Intercepts cuts of one Co-ordinate axis by line
ax + by + 8 = 0              .....(1)
Slope of line 1 = -ab.
Also, slope of line 2x – 3x + 6 = 0 is 23.
Now, -ab=23               a=-2b3
Let the length of perpendicular from origin to line be d1
d1=a(0)+b(0)+8a2+b2=8a2+b2=8×313b2
Also, length of perpendicular from origin to line (2).
d2=2(0)-3(0)+622+32
Since, d1 = d2
8×313b=613
= b = 4
So, a=-83
Thus, the value of a is -83 and b is 4.

Question 10:

If the intercept of a line between the coordinate axes is divided by the point (–5, 4) in the ratio 1 : 2, then find the equation of the line.

Answer:

Given, Co-ordinate axis divide by point (–5, 4) in ratio (1 : 2)
 (-5, 4)=1 × 0 + 2 × a1 + 2, 1 × b + 2 × a1 + 2(-5, 4)=2a3, b3a=-152 and b=12
Equation of line
y-0=12-00--152x--152
⇒ 5y = 8x + 60
⇒ 8x – 5y + 60 = 0
Thus, required equation of line is 8x + 5y + 60 = 0.

Answer:

GRAPHICS

Now, the slope of AC = -34
Since ABC is an isosceles right-angle triangle,
BAC=ACB=45°
Now, let the slope of the line make an angle of 45° be m.
tan45°=m--341+m-344m+34-3m=±14m+3=4-3m   or     4m+3=3m-4m=17 or -7
So, if the slope of the line is 1/7, then the slope of line AB is -7.
Equation of BC: y-2=17x-2x-7y+12=0Equation of AB: y-2=-7x-27x+y-16=0

Since, the algebraic sum of the perpendiculars drawn from the points (2, 0), (0, 2) and (1, 1) on the line is zero
2a+0.b-1a2+b2+0.a+2b-1a2+b2+a+b-1a2+b2=0a+b-1=0a+b=1

Comparing ax+by=1 with a + b = 1

Question 40:

The ratio in which the line 3x + 4y + 2 = 0 divides the distance between the lines 3x + 4y + 5 = 0 and 3x + 4y – 5 = 0 is
(A) 1 : 2
(B) 3 : 7
(C) 2 : 3
(D) 2 : 5

Answer:

Lines 3x + 4y + 2 = 0 & 3x + 4y + 5 = 0 are on the same side of the origin. The distance between these Iines is
d1=2-532+42=35
Lines 3x + 4y + 2 = 0 and 3x + 4y - 5 = 0 are on the opposite sides of the origin. The distance between these lines is
d1=2--532+42=75

Thus, 3x + 4y + 2 = 0 divides the distance between 3x + 4y + 5 = 0 and 3x + 4y − 5 = 0 in the ratio d1​:d2​, i.e. 3:7.

Question 48:

State whether the following statement is True or False.
If the vertices of a triangle have integral coordinates, then the triangle can not be equilateral.

Answer:

Without loss of generality, we can choose the co-ordinates as A = (0,0), B = (x, y) and C = (a, b)

Now, the slope of AB = yx​ is the rational slope of AC = ba​ rational.
So, 
tanBAC=yx-ab1+aybx which is rational
 

At tan60°=3​, there cannot be any point with rational coefficient so angle BAC cannot be 60°.

As we cannot find any rational point on the k line at 60o so getting an equilateral triangle is not possible.

Thus, the above statement is True.

Answer:

Given lines are,
4– 1 = 0       .....(1)
7– 3– 35 = 0   .....(2)
Solving the above lines, we get
