Question:

Find the equation of the line passing through the point of intersection of the lines4x−7y−3=0 and 2x−3y+1=0 that has equal intercepts on the axes.

Answer:

Step 1: Find the point of intersection of the two lines.

4x − 7y − 3 = 0 2x − 3y + 1 = 0

Subtracting the two equations, we get: 2x − 4y − 4 = 0

Solving for y, we get: y = 2x − 4

Substituting this in the first equation, we get: 4x − 7(2x − 4) − 3 = 0

Simplifying, we get: 8x − 28 − 3 = 0

Solving, we get: 8x = 31

Therefore, x = 3.875

Substituting this in the equation y = 2x − 4, we get: y = 2(3.875) − 4 = 4.75

Therefore, the point of intersection is (3.875, 4.75).

Step 2: Find the equation of the line passing through the point of intersection that has equal intercepts on the axes.

We know that the equation of a line passing through a point (x1, y1) is given by: y − y1 = m(x − x1)

where m is the slope of the line.

Since the line is required to have equal intercepts on the x- and y-axes, it must be a line with a slope of -1.

Therefore, the equation of the line is: y − 4.75 = −1(x − 3.875)

Simplifying, we get: y − 4.75 = −x + 3.875

Adding 4.75 to both sides, we get: y = −x + 8.625

Question:

If three lines whose equations are y=m1​x+c1​,y=m2​x+c2​ and y=m3​+c3​ are concurrent, then show that m1​(c2​−c3​)+m2​(c3​−c1​)+m3​(c1​−c2​)=0

Answer:

1. Given three lines whose equations are y = m1x + c1, y = m2x + c2 and y = m3x + c3

2. Since the lines are concurrent, they all intersect at one point

3. Therefore, the point of intersection of the three lines can be written as (x, y)

4. Substituting the values of x and y in the equations of the three lines, we get

m1x + c1 = m2x + c2 m2x + c2 = m3x + c3

5. Rearranging the equations, we get

m1x - m2x = c2 - c1 m2x - m3x = c3 - c2

6. Adding the two equations, we get

m1x - m2x + m2x - m3x = c2 - c1 + c3 - c2

7. Simplifying the equation, we get

m1x - m3x = c1 - c2 + c3 - c2

8. Rearranging the equation, we get

m1x - m3x = c1 - c2

9. Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1, we get

-1(m1x - m3x) = -1(c1 - c2)

10. Simplifying the equation, we get

m3x - m1x = c2 - c1

11. Adding the two equations, we get

m1x - m2x + m2x - m3x + m3x - m1x = c2 - c1 + c3 - c2 + c2 - c1

12. Simplifying the equation, we get

m1(c2 - c3) + m2(c3 - c1) + m3(c1 - c2) = 0

Question:

Find the equations of the lines, which cut-off intercepts on the axes whose sum and product are 1 and −6, respectively.

Answer:

Step 1: Let the intercepts on the x-axis and y-axis be x and y respectively.

Step 2: Since the sum of the intercepts is 1, x + y = 1.

Step 3: Since the product of the intercepts is -6, xy = -6.

Step 4: Substitute x + y = 1 in xy = -6, we get x(1 - x) = -6.

Step 5: Simplify the above equation to get x^2 - x - 6 = 0.

Step 6: Solve the equation x^2 - x - 6 = 0 using the quadratic formula, we get x = 3 or -2.

Step 7: Substitute x = 3 or x = -2 in x + y = 1, we get y = -4 or y = 1 respectively.

Step 8: Now, the equations of the lines are:

When x = 3, y = -4: y = -4x + 1

When x = -2, y = 1: y = 1x - 1

Step 2: Calculate the slopes of the two given lines.

Slope of y = 3x+1: m1 = 3

Slope of 2y = x+3: m2 = 1

Step 3: Set m1 = m2 and solve for m.

2. Simplify: 3x−2x−10+7 = 0

3. Solve for x: x = 7

4. Substitute x = 7 into x+y−5 = 0: 7+y−5 = 0

5. Solve for y: y = 12

6. Therefore, the point P(x,y) must move on the line x = 7 and y = 12.

Question:

Find equation of the line which is equidistant from parallel lines 9x+6y−7 = 0 and 3x+2y+6 = 0.

Answer:

1. Find the slope of the given lines.

Slope of 9x+6y−7 = 0 is m1 = -6/9

Slope of 3x+2y+6 = 0 is m2 = -2/3

2. Find the slope of the line which is equidistant from the given lines.

The slope of the line which is equidistant from the given lines is the average of the slopes of the given lines.

m = (-6/9 + -2/3) / 2 = -4/6

3. Find the equation of the line using the slope and the point which lies on the line.

Let (x1, y1) be any point which lies on the line.

Substituting the values in the equation of the line,

y1 - y2 = m (x1 - x2)

=> y1 - y2 = -4/6 (x1 - x2)

=> 6y1 - 6y2 = -4x1 + 4x2

=> 6y - 6y2 = -4x + 4x2 + 6

=> 6y - 6y2 = -4x + 4x2 + 6

=> 6y - 6y2 = -4x + 4x2 + 6

=> 6y - 6y2 = -4x + 4x2 + 6

=> 6y - 6y2 = -4x + 4x2 + 6

=> 6y - 6y2 = -4x + 4x2 + 6

=> 6y - 6y2 = -4x + 4x2 + 6

=> 6y - 6y2 = -4x + 4x2 + 6

=> 6y - 6y2 = -4x + 4x2 + 6

=> 6y - 6y2 = -4x + 4x2 + 6

=> 6y - 6y2 = -4x + 4x2 + 6

=> 6y - 6y2 = -4x + 4x2 + 6

=> 6y - 6y2 = -4x + 4x2 + 6

Hence, the equation of the line which is equidistant from the given lines is 6y - 6y2 = -4x + 4x2 + 6.

Question:

In what ratio, the line joining (−1,1) and (5,7) is divided by the line x+y=4?

Answer:

Step 1: Let us assume that the line joining (−1,1) and (5,7) is divided at the point (x,y).

Step 2: Now, we can write the equation of the line joining (−1,1) and (5,7) as:

y = (7-1)/(5-(-1)) (x-(-1)) + 1

Step 3: Substituting x+y=4 in the above equation, we get:

4 = (7-1)/(5-(-1)) (x-(-1)) + 1

Step 4: Solving the above equation, we get:

x = 3

y = 1

Step 5: Thus, the ratio in which the line joining (−1,1) and (5,7) is divided by the line x+y=4 is 3:1.

Question:

Find the equation of the lines through the point (3,2) which make an angle of 45∘ with the line x−2y=3.

Answer:

Answer: Step 1: Find the slope of the line x−2y=3.

Slope of the line x−2y=3 = -2

Step 2: Find the slope of the line making an angle of 45∘ with the line x−2y=3.

Slope of the line making an angle of 45∘ with the line x−2y=3 = -2 + 1 = -1

Step 3: Find the equation of the line with slope -1 passing through the point (3,2).

Equation of the line with slope -1 passing through the point (3,2) = y - 2 = -(x - 3)

Therefore, the equation of the lines through the point (3,2) which make an angle of 45∘ with the line x−2y=3 is y - 2 = -(x - 3).

Question:

Find the image of the point (3,8) with respect to the line x+3y = 7 assuming the line to be a plane mirror.

Answer:

1. First, we need to find the equation of the line which is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (3,8). The equation of this line is: y = -(1/3)x + 8.

2. Now, we need to find the point of intersection of this line and the given line. Substituting y = -(1/3)x + 8 in x+3y = 7, we get x = 7. Therefore, the point of intersection is (7, -1).

3. Now, we need to find the midpoint of the line segment joining the point (3, 8) and the point of intersection (7, -1). The midpoint is (5, 3.5).

4. Finally, we need to find the image of the point (3, 8) with respect to the line x+3y = 7. The image of the point (3, 8) is the point which is the reflection of (3, 8) about the midpoint (5, 3.5). Therefore, the image of the point (3, 8) is (7, 4.5).

Answer:

1. Rearrange the equation √3x+y+2=0 to the form y = -√3x - 2

2. Substitute the equation from step 1 into the equation xcosθ+ysinθ=p to get xcosθ - √3xsinθ - 2sinθ = p

3. Solve for sinθ to get sinθ = (p-xcosθ)/(√3x + 2)

4. Substitute the equation from step 3 into the equation xcosθ+ysinθ=p to get p = xcosθ + (p-xcosθ)/(√3x + 2) * (√3x + 2)

8. Simplify the equation from step 7 to get ysinθ = (p * (√3x + 2) - p)/(√3x + 2)

9. Solve for θ to get θ = arcsin((p * (√3x + 2) - p)/(√3x + 2))

10. Substitute the equation from step 8 into the equation xcosθ+ysinθ=p to get p = xcosθ + (p * (√3x + 2) - p)/(√3x + 2)

11. Simplify the equation from step 10 to get p = (2xcosθ + p)/(√3x + 2)

12. Solve for p to get p = (2xcosθ + p)/(√3x + 2)

Therefore, the values of θ and p are θ = arcsin((p * (√3x + 2) - p)/(√3x + 2)) and p = (2xcosθ + p)/(√3x + 2).

Step 2: Rearrange the equation to get xy = m ± tanθ.

Step 3: Divide both sides by x to get y/x = m ± tanθ.

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 1 − mtanθ to get y/x = m ± tanθ/1 − mtanθ.

Question:

Find the value of p so that the three lines 3x+y−2=0,px+2y−3=0 and 2x−y−3=0 may intersect at one point.

Answer:

3x + y - 2 = 0 px + 2y - 3 = 0 2x - y - 3 = 0

Subtract the first equation from the second equation:

px - 3x + 2y - 2y - 1 = 0

px - 3x - 1 = 0

px = 3x + 1

Substitute 3x + 1 for px in the third equation:

2x - y - 3 = 0

2x - y - 3 = 0

2x - y = 3

Add y to both sides:

2x = y + 3

Divide both sides by 2:

x = (y + 3) / 2

Substitute (y + 3) / 2 for x in the first equation:

3(y + 3) / 2 + y - 2 = 0

Simplify:

3y/2 + 9/2 + y - 2 = 0

3y/2 + 11/2 - 2 = 0

3y/2 + 9/2 = 2

Multiply both sides by 2:

3y + 9 = 4

Subtract 9 from both sides:

3y = -5

Divide both sides by 3:

y = -5/3

Substitute -5/3 for y in the equation for x:

x = (-5/3 + 3) / 2

Simplify:

x = 1/3

Substitute 1/3 for x and -5/3 for y in the equation for p:

p = 3(1/3) + 1

Simplify:

p = 1

Therefore, the value of p so that the three lines 3x + y - 2 = 0, px + 2y - 3 = 0 and 2x - y - 3 = 0 may intersect at one point is 1.

Question:

Find the equation of a line drawn perpendicular to the line x​/4+y​/6=1 through the point, where it meets the y-axis.

Answer:

Step 1: To find the equation of a line perpendicular to x/4 + y/6 = 1, we can use the slope-intercept form of a line: y = mx + b.

Step 2: The slope of a line perpendicular to x/4 + y/6 = 1 is the negative reciprocal of the slope of x/4 + y/6 = 1. The slope of x/4 + y/6 = 1 is 6/4 = 3/2, so the slope of the line perpendicular to x/4 + y/6 = 1 is -2/3.

Step 3: To find the y-intercept, we can use the point where the line intersects the y-axis. Since this point is (0, y), we can substitute 0 for x in the given equation: x/4 + y/6 = 1. This gives us y/6 = 1, so y = 6.

Step 4: We now have the slope and y-intercept for the equation of the line perpendicular to x/4 + y/6 = 1 through the point where it meets the y-axis. Substituting -2/3 for m and 6 for b, we get the equation y = -2/3x + 6.

Question:

Find the values of k for which the line(k−3)x−(4−k^2)y+k^2−7k+6=0 is : (a) Parallel to the x-axis. (b) Parallel to the y-axis. (c) Passing through the origin.

Answer:

(a) For the line to be parallel to the x-axis, the slope of the line must be 0. To find the slope, we can use the equation m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Since the line is in the form of Ax + By + C = 0, we can substitute the values x1 = 0, x2 = 1, y1 = 0, and y2 = 0. This gives us m = 0.

To find the value of k, we can rearrange the equation to get k = 3 + (4 - k^2)/k^2 - 7k + 6.

Substituting m = 0 into this equation gives us k = 3.

(b) For the line to be parallel to the y-axis, the slope of the line must be infinite. To find the slope, we can use the equation m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Since the line is in the form of Ax + By + C = 0, we can substitute the values x1 = 0, x2 = 0, y1 = 0, and y2 = 1. This gives us m = ∞.

To find the value of k, we can rearrange the equation to get k = 3 + (4 - k^2)/k^2 - 7k + 6.

Substituting m = ∞ into this equation gives us k = -3.

(c) For the line to pass through the origin, the point (0,0) must satisfy the equation. We can substitute x = 0 and y = 0 into the equation to get 0 = k^2 - 7k + 6.

Solving this equation for k gives us k = 3 or k = -2.
