Question 11 Mark
Find the values of $k$ for which the line $(k - 3) x - (4 - k^2)y + k^2 - 7k + 6 = 0$ is passing through the origin.
Answer
The given equation of the line is
$(k–3) x – (4 – k^2) y + k^2-7k+6=0$
If the given line is passing through the origin, then point $(0,0)$ satisfies the given equation of line.
$\Rightarrow(k -3) (0) – (4-k^2)(0) + k^2 -7k +6 = 0$
$\Rightarrow k^2 -7k +6 = 0$
$\Rightarrow k^2 -6k-k +6 = 0$
$\Rightarrow (k-6)(k-1)=0$
$\Rightarrow k = 1$ or $6$
Thus, we get the value of $k$ is either $1$ or $6.$

Question 21 Mark
Find the values of $k$ for which the line $(k–3) x – (4 – k^2 ) y + k^2 –7k + 6 = 0$ is parallel to the y-axis.
Answer
The given equation of the line is
$(k–3) x – (4 – k^2) y + k^2-7k+6=0$
The slope of the line is = $\frac{(k-3)}{\left(4-k^{2}\right)}$
Now, $\frac{(k-3)}{\left(4-k^{2}\right)}$ is undefined at $k^2 = 4$
$\Rightarrow k^2 = 4$
$\Rightarrow  k =  \pm 2$
Thus, if the given line is parallel to the $y –$ axis, then the value of k is $\pm 2.$

Question 31 Mark
Find the values of $k$ for which the line $(k–3) x – (4 – k^2 ) y + k^2 –7k + 6 = 0$ is parallel to the x-axis.
Answer
The given equation of the line is
$(k–3) x – (4 – k^2) y + k^2-7k+6=0$
The given line can be written as
$(4 – k^2) = (k–3) x + k^2 –7k + 6 = 0$
$\Rightarrow y = \frac{(k-3)}{\left(4-k^{2}\right)} x+\frac{k^{2}-7 k+6}{\left(4-k^{2}\right)}$ which is the form $y = mx+c$
Therefore, Slope of the given line $=\frac{(k-3)}{\left(4-k^{2}\right)}$
Slope of $x-$ axis = 0
Then, \frac{(k-3)}{\left(4-k^{2}\right)}=0
$\Rightarrow k – 3 = 0$
$\Rightarrow k = 3$
Thus if the given line is parallel to the $x – $axis, then the value of $k$ is $3$

Question 41 Mark
Find the equation of the line parallel to the line $3x - 4y + 2 = 0$ and passing through the point $(–2, 3).$
Answer
Given equation of the line is $3x – 4y + 2 = 0$
$\Rightarrow y=\frac{3 x}{4}+\frac{2}{4}$
$\Rightarrow y=\frac{3 x}{4}+\frac{1}{2}$
Which is of the form $y = mx + c,$ where $m$ is the slope.
$\therefore$ the slope of the given line is $\frac34$
We know that parallel lines have the same slope.
$\therefore$ the slope of another line $= m = \frac34$
Equation of line having slope m and passing through $(x_1, y_1)$ is given by
$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$
$\therefore$ Equation of line having slope $\frac34$ and passing through $(-2, 3)$ is
$y-3=\frac{3}{4}(x-(-2))$
$\Rightarrow   4y - 3  \times  4 = 3x + 3  \times 2$
$\Rightarrow 3x - 4y = 18$

Question 61 Mark
Reduce the equation into slope intercept form and find the slope and the y-intercepts.
6x + 3y - 5 = 0
Answer
Here 6x + 3y - 5 = 0

Question 71 Mark
Reduce the equation into slope-intercept form and find the slope and the y-intercept.
x + 7 y = 0
Answer
Here x + 7 y = 0
$\Rightarrow$ 7y = -x

$y = \frac{{ - 1}}{7}x \Rightarrow y = \frac{{ - 1}}{7}x + 0$ which is required slope intercept form.
Comparing it with y = mx +c, we have
$m = \frac{{ - 1}}{7}$ and c = 0

Question 81 Mark
Find the equation of the line which satisfy the given condition:
Passing through $(0, 0)$ with slope m.
Answer
Given point $= (0, 0)$ and slope $= m$
We know that the point $(x, y)$ lies on the line with slope m through the fixed point $(x_0, y_0),$ if and only if, its coordinates satisfy the equation $y - y_0 = m (x - x_0)$
$\therefore y - 0 = m (x - 0)$
$\Rightarrow y = mx$
$\Rightarrow y - mx = 0$
Therefore, the required equation of the line is $y - mx = 0.$

Question 91 Mark
Find the equation of the line which satisfy the given condition:

Write the equations for the x-and y-axes.

Answer
We know that the y-coordinate of every point on the x-axis is 0.
$\therefore$ Equation of x-axis is y = 0.
The x-coordinate of every point on the y-axis is 0.
$\therefore$ Equation of y-axis is x = 0.

Question 101 Mark
Write the equation of the line through the points $(1, –1)$ and $(3, 5)$
Answer
We know that,
$y-y_{1}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\left(x-x_{1}\right)$
Here $x_1 = 1, y_1 = – 1, x_2 = 3$ and $y_2 = 5.$
$y-(-1)=\frac{5-(-1)}{3-1}(x-1)$
or $ –3x + y + 4 = 0.$
which is the required equation.

Question 111 Mark
Show that two lines $a_1x + b_1y + c_1 = 0$ and $a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0,$ where $b_1, b_2 \ne 0$ are: Perpendicular if $a_1b_1+ b_1b_2= 0$
Answer
Given lines can be written as
$y=-\frac{a_{1}}{b_{1}} x-\frac{c_{1}}{b_{1}}$ ...(1)
and $y=-\frac{a_{2}}{b_{2}} x-\frac{c_{2}}{b_{2}}$ ...(2)
Slopes of the lines (1) and (2) are $m_{1}=-\frac{a_{1}}{b_{1}}$ and $m_{2}=-\frac{a_{2}}{b_{2}}$, respectively.
Now, lines are perpendicular, if $m_1.m_2 = –1,$
$\Rightarrow \frac{a_{1}}{b_{1}} \cdot \frac{a_{2}}{b_{2}}=-1 $ or $a_1a_2 + b_1b_2 = 0$

Question 121 Mark
Show that two lines $a_1x + b_1y + c_1 = 0$ and $a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0,$ where $b_1, b_2 \ne 0$ are: Parallel if $\frac{a_{1}}{b_{1}}=\frac{a_{2}}{b_{2}}$
Answer
Given lines can be written as
$y=-\frac{a_{1}}{b_{1}} x-\frac{c_{1}}{b_{1}} ...(1)$
and $y=-\frac{a_{2}}{b_{2}} x-\frac{c_{2}}{b_{2}} ...(2)$
Slopes of the lines (1) and (2) are $m_{1}=-\frac{a_{1}}{b_{1}}$ and $m_{2}=-\frac{a_{2}}{b_{2}}$, respectively.
Now, lines are parallel, if $m_1 = m_{2}.$
$\Rightarrow -\frac{a_{1}}{b_{1}}=-\frac{a_{2}}{b_{2}} \text { or } \frac{a_{1}}{b_{1}}=\frac{a_{2}}{b_{2}}$
