Question 13 Marks
Prove The Theorem : If $\theta$ is the acute angle between non-vertical lines having slopes $m_1$ and $m_2$ then
$
\tan \theta=\left|\frac{m_1-m_2}{1+m_1 m_2}\right|
$
Answer
Proof : Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the inclinations of non-vertical lines having slopes $m_1$ and $m_2$. $\alpha \neq 90^{\circ}$ and $\beta \neq 90^{\circ}$.
$
\therefore \tan \alpha=m_1 \text { and } \tan \beta=m_2
$
Image
From Fig. 5.7 and 5.8 , we observe that
$
\begin{aligned}
& \theta=\beta-\alpha \text { or } \theta=\pi-(\beta-\alpha) \\
& \therefore \tan \theta=\tan (\beta-\alpha) \text { or } \tan \theta=\tan \{\pi-(\beta-\alpha)\} \\
& \qquad \quad=-\tan (\beta-\alpha) \\
& \therefore \tan \theta=|\tan (\beta-\alpha)|=|\tan (\alpha-\beta)| \\
& \therefore \tan \theta=\left|\frac{\tan \alpha-\tan \beta}{1+\tan \alpha \tan \beta}\right|=\left|\frac{m_1-m_2}{1+m_1 m_2}\right|
\end{aligned}
$
Note that as $\theta$ is the acute angle, lines are not perpendicular to each other. Hence $m_1 m_2 \neq-1$.
$
\therefore 1+m_1 m_2 \neq 0

Question 23 Marks
Find the distance of the line $4x – y = 0$ from the point $P(4, 1)$ measured along the line making an angle of $135^\circ$ with the positive $X-$ axis.
Answer
Image
Let a line $L$ make angle $135^{\circ}$ with positive $X$-axis.
Required distance $= PQ$, where $PQ \|$ line $L$
Slope of $PQ =\tan 135^{\circ}$
$=\tan \left(180^{\circ}-45^{\circ}\right)$
$=-\tan 45^{\circ}$
$=-1$
Equation of $PQ$ is
$ y-1=(-1)(x-4)$
$y-1=-x+4$
$x+y=5 \ldots .(i) $
To get point $Q$ we solve the equation $4 x-y=0$ with (i) Substituting $y=4 x$ in (i), we get
$ 5 x=5$
$x=1 $
Substituting $x=1$ in (i), we get
$ 1+y=5$
$y=4$
$\therefore Q=(1,4)$
$P Q=\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(1-4)^2}$
$=\sqrt{9+9}$
$=3 \sqrt{2} $

Question 33 Marks
$P ( a , b )$ is the midpoint of a line segment intercepted between the axes. Show that the equation of the line is $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=2$.
Answer

Image
Let the intercepts of a line $A B$ be $x_1$ and $y_1$ on the $X$ and $Y$-axes respectively.
$
A \equiv\left(x_1, 0\right), B=\left(0, y_1\right)
$
$P(a, b)$ is the midpoint of a line segment $A B$ intercepted between the axes.
$
\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore \quad & P =\left(\frac{x_1+0}{2}, \frac{0+y_1}{2}\right) \\
\therefore & ( a , b )=\left(\frac{x_1}{2}, \frac{y_1}{2}\right) \\
\therefore & a =\frac{x_1}{2} \\
\therefore & x_1=2 a \\
\therefore \quad & \text { and } b =\frac{y_1}{2} \\
\therefore \quad & y_1=2 b
\end{array}
$
$\therefore \quad$ Equation of the required line $AB$ is
$
\frac{x}{x_1}+\frac{y}{y_1}=1
$
$
\therefore \quad \frac{x}{2 a}+\frac{y}{2 b}=1
$
$
\therefore \quad \frac{x}{ a }+\frac{y}{ b }=2

Question 83 Marks
Two lines passing through M(2, 3) intersect each other at an angle of 45°. If slope of one line is 2, find the equation of the other line.
Answer
Let $m$ be the slope of the required line which make an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the other line.
Slope of one of the lines is 2 .
$ \tan 45^{\circ}=\left|\frac{ m -2}{1+ m (2)}\right|$
$1=\left|\frac{m-2}{1+2 m}\right|$
$\frac{m-2}{1+2 m}= \pm 1$
$\frac{ m -2}{1+2 m }=1 \text { or } \frac{ m -2}{1+2 m }=-1$
$m -2=1+2 m \text { or } m -2=-1-2 m$
$m =-3 \text { or } 3 m =1$
$m =-3 \text { or } m =\frac{1}{3} $
Required line passes through $M(2,3)$
When $m=-3$, equation of the line is
$ y-3=-3(x-2)$
$y-3=-3 x+6$
$\therefore 3 x+y=9 $
When $m=\frac{1}{3}$, equation of the line is
$ y-3=\frac{1}{3}(x-2)$
$3 y-9=x-2$
$\therefore x-3 y+7=0 $

Question 93 Marks
Find the equation of the line which passes through the point of intersection of lines x + y + 9 = 0, 2x + 3y + 1 = 0 and which makes x-intercept 1.
Answer
Let u ≡ x + y + 9 = 0 and v ≡ 2x + 3y + 1 = 0

Equation of the line passing through the point of intersection of lines u = 0 and v = 0 is

given by u + kv = 0.

(x + y + 9) + k(2x + 3y + 1) = 0 ……(i)

⇒ x + y + 9 + 2kx + 3ky + k = 0

⇒ (1 + 2k)x + (1 + 3k)y + 9 + k = 0

But, x-intercept of this line is 1.

$\Rightarrow \frac{-(9+k)}{1+2 k}$

⇒ -9 – k = 1 + 2k

$\Rightarrow k=\frac{-10}{3}$

Substituting the value of k in (i), we get

$(x+y+9)+\left(\frac{-10}{3}\right)(2 x+3 y+1)=0$

⇒ 3(x + y + 9) – 10(2x + 3y + 1) = 0 ⇒ 3x + 3y + 27 – 20x – 30y – 10 = 0 ⇒ -17x – 27y+ 17 = 0 ⇒ 17x + 27y – 17 = 0, which is the equation of the required line.

Question 103 Marks
Find the equation of the line which passes through the point of intersection of lines x + y – 3 = 0, 2x – y + 1 = 0 and which is parallel to X-axis.
Answer
Let u ≡ x + y – 3 = 0 and v ≡ 2x – y + 1 = 0

Equation of the line passing through the point of intersection of lines u = 0 and v = 0 is given by u + kv = 0.

(x + y – 3) + k(2x – y + 1) = 0 …..(i)

x + y – 3 + 2kx – ky + k = 0

x + 2kx + y – ky – 3 + k = 0

(1 + 2k)x + (1 – k)y – 3 + k = 0

But, this line is parallel to X-axis

Its slope = 0

$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{-(1+2 k)}{1-k}=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 1+2 k=0 \\ & \Rightarrow k=\frac{-1}{2}\end{aligned}$

Substituting the value of k in (i), we get

$(x+y-3)+\frac{-1}{2}(2 x-y+1)=0$

⇒ 2(x + y – 3) – (2x – y + 1 ) = 0 ⇒ 2x + 2y – 6 – 2x + y – 1 = 0 ⇒ 3y – 7 = 0, which is the equation of the required line.

Question 113 Marks
The vertices of a triangle are A(1, 4), B(2, 3) and C(1, 6). Find equations of : altitudes of ?ABC
Answer
Let AX, BY, and CZ be the altitudes through the vertices A, B and C respectively of ∆ABC.

Image

Slope of BC = -3

Slope of $A X=\frac{1}{3} \ldots \ldots[\because A X \perp B C]$

Since altitude AX passes through $(1,4)$ and has slope $\frac{1}{3}$.

equation of altitude AX is

$y-4=\frac{1}{3}(x-1)$

3y – 12 = x – 1 ∴ x – 3y + 11 = 0

Since both the points A and C have same x co-ordinates i.e. 1 the points A and C lie on the line x = 1. AC is parallel to Y-axis and therefore, altitude BY is parallel to X-axis. Since the altitude BY passes through B(2, 3), the equation of altitude BY is y = 3. Also, slope of AB = -1 Slope of CZ = 1 Since altitude CZ passes through (1, 6) and has slope 1, equation of altitude CZ is y – 6 = 1(x – 1) ∴ x – y + 5 = 0

Question 123 Marks
The vertices of a triangle are A(1, 4), B(2, 3) and C(1, 6). Find equations of : perpendicular bisectors of sides
Answer
Slope of side $B C=\left(\frac{6-3}{1-2}\right)=\left(\frac{3}{-1}\right)=-3$

Slope of perpendicular bisector of $B C$ is $\frac{1}{3}$ and the line passes through $\left(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{9}{2}\right)$.

Equation of the perpendicular bisector of side BC is

$\left(y-\frac{9}{2}\right)=\frac{1}{3}\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right)$

3(2y – 9) = (2x – 3)

6y – 27 = 2x – 3

2x – 6y + 24 = 0

∴ x – 3y + 12 = 0

Since both the points A and C have same x co-ordinates i.e. 1 the points A and C lie on the line x = 1. AC is parallel to Y-axis and therefore, perpendicular bisector of side AC is parallel to X-axis. Since, the perpendicular bisector of side AC passes through E(1, 5). The equation of perpendicular bisector of side AC is y = 5.

Slope of side $A B=\left(\frac{3-4}{2-1}\right)=-1$

Slope of perpendicular bisector of $A B$ is 1 and the line passes through $\left(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{7}{2}\right)$.

Equation of the perpendicular bisector of side AB is

$\begin{aligned} & \left(y-\frac{7}{2}\right)=1\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right) \\ & 2 y-7=2 x-3 \\ & 2 x-2 y+4=0 \\ & \therefore x-y+2=0\end{aligned}$

Answer
Let D, E and F be the midpoints of sides AC and AB respectively of ∆ABC.

Image

Then $\mathrm{D} \equiv\left(\frac{2+1}{2}, \frac{3+6}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{9}{2}\right)$

$\mathrm{E} \equiv\left(\frac{1+1}{2}, \frac{6+4}{2}\right)=(1,5)$

$\mathrm{F} \equiv\left(\frac{1+2}{2}, \frac{4+3}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{7}{2}\right)$

Equation of median $\mathrm{AD}$ is

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{y-4}{\frac{9}{2}-4}=\frac{x-1}{\frac{3}{2}-1} \\ & \frac{y-4}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{x-1}{\frac{1}{2}} \\ & x-y+3=0\end{aligned}$

Equation of median BE is

$\begin{array}{ll} & \frac{y-3}{5-3}=\frac{x-2}{1-2} \\ \therefore \quad & -1(y-3)=2(x-2) \\ \therefore & -y+3=2 x-4 \\ \therefore & 2 x+y=7\end{array}$

Equation of median CF is

$\begin{array}{ll} & \frac{y-6}{7}=\frac{x-1}{3} \\ & \frac{y-6}{2}-1 \\ \therefore \quad & \frac{y-6}{5}=\frac{x-1}{\frac{1}{2}} \\ & -\frac{x}{2} \\ \therefore \quad & y-6=-5(x-1) \\ \therefore \quad & 5 x+y-11=0\end{array}$

Equation of the line in two point form is $\frac{y-y_1}{y_2-y_1}=\frac{x-x_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Equation of side AB is

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{y-4}{3-4}=\frac{x-1}{2-1} \\ & y-4=-1(x-1) \\ & y-4=-x+1 \\ & x+y=5\end{aligned}$

Equation of side BC is

$\frac{y-3}{6-3}=\frac{x-2}{1-2}$

-1(y – 3) = 3(x – 2) -y + 3 = 3x – 6 ∴ 3x + y = 9 Since both the points A and C have same x co-ordinates i.e. 1 the points A and C lie on a line parallel to Y-axis. ∴ The equation of side AC is x = 1.

Question 153 Marks
Find the equation of line which passes through the point of intersection of lines $3 x+2 y-6=0, \quad x+y+1=0$ and the point $\mathrm{A}(2,1)$.
Answer
Since the required line passes through the point of intersection of lines $3 x+2 y-6=0$ and $x+y+1=0$, its equation is of the form $u+k v=0$.
$\therefore(3 x+2 y-6)+k(x+y+1)=0$
$\therefore(3+k) x+(2+k) y+(-6+k)=0$
This line passes through the point $\mathrm{A}(2,1)$.
$\therefore(2,1)$ satisfy this equation.
$\therefore(3+k)(2)+(2+k)(1)+(-6+k)=0$
$\therefore 4 \mathrm{k}+2=0 \quad \therefore \mathrm{k}=-\frac{1}{2}$
$\therefore$ The equation of the required line is
$
(3 x+2 y-6)+\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)(x+y+1)=0

Find the equation of the line which passes through the point of intersection of lines $x+2 y+6=0, \quad 2 x-y=2$ and which makes intercept 5 on the Y-axis.
Answer
As the required line passes through the point of intersection of lines $x+2 y+6=0$ and $2 x-y=2$, its equation is of the form $u+k v=0$.
$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore(x+2 y+6)+k(2 x-y-2)=0 \\
& \therefore(1+2 k) x+(2-1 k) y+(6-2 k)=0
\end{aligned}
$
The Y-intercept of this line is given 5 .
$
\therefore-\frac{6-2 \mathrm{k}}{2-\mathrm{k}}=5 \quad \therefore-6+2 \mathrm{k}=10-5 \mathrm{k}
$<br\>$
\therefore 7 \mathrm{k}=16 \quad \therefore \mathrm{k}=\frac{16}{7}

Question 173 Marks
Find equations of lines which pass through the origin and make an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the line $3 x-y=6$.
Answer
Slope of the line $3 x-y=6$. is 3 .
Let $m$ be the slope of one of the required lines. The angle between these lines is $45^{\circ}$.
$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \tan 45^{\circ}=\left|\frac{m-3}{1+(m)(3)}\right| \\
& \therefore 1=\left|\frac{m-3}{1+3 m}\right| \quad \therefore|1+3 m|=|m-3| \\
& \therefore 1+3 m=m-3 \quad \text { or } 1+3 m=-(m-3) \\
& \therefore m=-2 \text { or } \frac{1}{2}
\end{aligned}
$
Slopes of required lines are $m_1=-2$ and
$
\mathrm{m}_2=\frac{1}{2}
$
Required lines pass through the origin.
$\therefore$ Their equations are $y=-2 x$ and
$
\begin{aligned}
& y=\frac{1}{2} x \\

Question 183 Marks
If A(4, 3), B(0, 0) and C(2, 3) are the vertices of ΔABC, then find the equation of bisector of angle BAC.
Answer
Let the bisector of ∠ BAC meets BC at point D. ∴ Point D divides seg BC in the ratio l(AB) : l(AC)

Image

By distance formula,

$\begin{aligned} & l(\mathrm{AB})=\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(3-0)^2}=\sqrt{25}=5 \\ & l(\mathrm{AC})=\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(3-3)^2}=\sqrt{4}=2\end{aligned}$

$\therefore \quad$ Point D divides $\mathrm{BC}$ internally in the ratio $5: 2$

$\therefore \quad \mathrm{D} \equiv\left(\frac{5(2)+2(0)}{5+2}, \frac{5(3)+2(0)}{5+2}\right) \equiv\left(\frac{10}{7}, \frac{15}{7}\right)$

$\therefore \quad$ Equation of $\mathrm{AD}$ is

$\frac{y-3}{\frac{15}{7}-3}=\frac{x-4}{\frac{10}{7}-4}$

$\therefore \quad \frac{y-3}{\frac{-6}{7}}=\frac{x-4}{\frac{-18}{7}}$

∴ 18 (y – 3) = 6 (x – 4)

∴ 3(y – 3) = x – 4

∴ 3y – 9 = x – 4

∴ x – 3y + 5 = 0

Question 193 Marks
Find the equation of the line passing through the point of intersection of lines x + y – 2 = 0 and 2xr – 3y + 4 = 0 and making intercept 3 on the X-axis.
Answer
Let u ≡ x + y – 2 = 0 and v ≡ 2x – 3y + 4 = 0

Equation of the line passing through the point of intersection of lines u = 0 and v = 0 is

given by u + kv = 0.

∴ (x +y – 2) + k(2x – 3y + 4) = 0 …(i)

But, x-intercept of line is 3.

∴ It passes through (3, 0).

Substituting x = 3 and y = 0 in (i), we get

(3 + 0 – 2) + k(6 – 0 + 4) = 0

∴ 1 + 10k = 0

$k=\frac{-1}{10}$

Substituting the value of $k$ in (i), we get $(x+y-2)+\left(\frac{-1}{10}\right)(2 x-3 y+4)=0$

∴ 10(x + y – 2) – (2x – 3y + 4) = 0

∴ 10x + 10y -20 — 2x + 3y-4 = 0

∴ 8x + 13y – 24 = 0, which is the equation of the required line.

Question 203 Marks
Find the equation of the line parallel to the X-axis and passing through the point of intersection of lines x + y – 2 = 0 and 4x + 3y = 10.
Answer
Let u = x + y – 2 = 0 and v = 4x + 3y – 10 = 0

Equation of the line passing through the point of intersection of lines u = 0 and v = 0 is given by u + kv = 0.

∴ (x + y – 2) + k(4x + 3y – 10) = 0 …(i)

∴ x + y – 2 + 4kx + 3ky – 10k = 0

∴ x + 4kx + y + 3ky – 2 – 10k = 0

∴ (1+ 4k)x + (1 + 3k)y – 2 – 10k = 0

But, this line is parallel to X-axis. ∴ Its slope = 0

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \frac{-(1+4 k)}{1+3 k}=0 \\ & \therefore 1+4 k=0 \\ & \therefore k=\frac{-1}{4}\end{aligned}$

Substituting the value of k in (i), we get (x + y – 2) + (4x + 3y – 10) = 0 ∴ 4(x +y – 2) – (4x + 3y -10 ) = 0 ∴ 4x + 4y – 8 – 4x – 3y + 10 = 0 ∴ y + 2 = 0, which is the equation of the required line. [Note: Answer given in the textbook is 5y – 8= 0. However, as per our calculation it is y + 2 = 0.]

Question 213 Marks
Find the points on the line x + y – 4 = 0 which are at a unit distance from the line 4JC + 3y = 10.
Answer
Let P(x1, y1) be a point on the line x + y – 4 = o.

∴ x1 + y1 – 4 = 0

∴ y1 = 4 – x1 …(i)

Also, distance of P from the line 4x + 3y- 10 = 0 is 1

$\therefore \quad 1=\left|\frac{4 x_1+3 y_1-10}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}}\right|$

$\therefore \quad 1=\left|\frac{4 x_1+3\left(4-x_1\right)-10}{\sqrt{25}}\right| \quad \ldots[$ From (i)]

$\therefore \quad 1=\left|\frac{4 x_1+12-3 x_1-10}{5}\right|$

∴ 5 = | x1 + 2 |

∴ x1 + 2 = ± 5

∴ x1 + 2 = 5 or x1 + 2 = – 5

∴ x1 = 3 or x1 = – 7 From (i),

when x1 = 3, y1 = 1

and when x1 = -7, y1 = 11

∴ The required points are (3, 1) and (-7, 11).

∴ -4y = – 20

∴ y = 5

∴ The point of intersection of lines (i) and (ii) is given by (5, 5).

Substituting x = 5 and y = 5 in L.H.S. of (iii), we get

L.H.S. = 4(5) + 5(5) – 45 = 20 + 25 – 45 = 0 = R.H.S.

∴ Line (iii) also passes through (5, 5).

Hence, the given three lines are concurrent and the point of concurrence is (5, 5).

Question 233 Marks
If the line 3x + 4y = p makes a triangle of area 24 square units with the co-ordinate axes, then find the value of p.
Answer
Let the line 3x + 4y = p cuts the X and Y axes at points A and B respectively. 3x + 4y = p

$\therefore \quad \frac{3 x}{\mathrm{p}}+\frac{4 y}{\mathrm{p}}=1$

$\therefore \quad \frac{x}{\mathrm{p}}+\frac{y}{\frac{\mathrm{p}}{3}}=1$

Image

This equation is of the form $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1$,

where $a=\frac{p}{3}$ and $b=\frac{p}{4}$

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore A(a, 0) \equiv\left(\frac{p}{3}, 0\right) \text { and } B \equiv(0, b)=\left(0, \frac{p}{4}\right) \\ & \therefore O A=\frac{p}{3} \text { and } O B=\frac{p}{4}\end{aligned}$

Given, A (∆OAB) = 24 sq. units

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore\left|\frac{1}{2} \times \mathrm{OA} \times \mathrm{OB}\right|=24 \\ & \therefore\left|\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{\mathrm{p}}{3} \times \frac{\mathrm{p}}{4}\right|=24 \\ & \therefore \mathrm{p}^2=576 \\ & \therefore \mathrm{p}= \pm 24\end{aligned}$

Question 243 Marks
Show that the lines x – 2y – 7 = 0 and 2x + y + 1 = 0 are perpendicular to each other. Find their point of intersection.
Answer
Let $m_1$ be the slope of the line $x-2 y-7=0$.

$\therefore m_1=\frac{- \text { coefficient of } x}{\text { coefficient of } y}=\frac{-1}{-2}=\frac{1}{2}$

Let $m_2$ be the slope of the line $2 x+y+1=0$.

$\therefore \mathrm{m}_2=\frac{- \text { coefficient of } x}{\text { coefficient of } y}=\frac{-2}{1}=-2$

Since $m_1 \times m_1=\frac{1}{2} \times(-2)=-1$,

the given lines are perpendicular to each other. Consider,

x – 2y – 7 = 0 …(i)

2x + y + 1 =0 …(ii)

Multiplying equation (ii) by 2, we get

4x + 2y + 2 = 0 …(iii)

Adding equations (i) and (iii), we get

5x – 5 = 0

∴ x = 1

Substituting x = 1 in equation (ii), we get

2 + y + 1 = 0

∴ y = – 3

∴ The point of intersection of the given lines is (1,-3).

Question 253 Marks
Find the acute angle between the X-axis and the line joining the points A(3, -1) and B(4, – 2).
Answer
Given, A (3, – 1) and B (4, – 2)

Slope of $A B=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_1-x_1}=\frac{-2-(-1)}{4-3}=-1$

But, slope of a line = tan θ ∴ tan θ = – 1 = – tan 45° = tan (180° -45°) … [∵ tan (180° – θ) = -tan θ] = tan 135° ∴ θ = 135°

Image

Let α be the acute angle that line AB makes with X-axis. Then, α + 0 = 180° α = 180°- 135° = 45° ∴ The acute angle between the X-axis and the line joining the points A and B is 45°.

Question 263 Marks
Find the slope of the line which makes angle of 45° with the positive direction of the Y-axis measured anticlockwise.
Answer

Image

Since the line makes an angle of 45° with positive direction of Y-axis in anticlockwise direction, Inclination of the line (0) = (90° + 45°) ∴ Slope of the line = tan(90° + 45°) = – cot 45° = -1

Question 273 Marks
A line makes intercepts 3 and 3 on the co-ordinate axes. Find the inclination of the line.
Answer
Given, x-intercept of line is 3 and y-intercept of line is 3 ∴ The line intersects X-axis at (3, 0) and Y-axis at (0, 3). ∴ The line passes through (3, 0) and (0,3).

$\therefore$ Slope of line $=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{3-0}{0-3}=-1$

But, slope of a line = tan θ ∴ tan θ = – 1

$\begin{aligned} & =-\tan \frac{\pi}{4} \\ & =\tan \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \ldots[v \tan (\pi-\theta)=-\tan \theta] \\ & \tan \theta=\tan \frac{3 \pi}{4} \\ & \theta=\frac{3 \pi}{4}\end{aligned}$

The inclination of the line is $\frac{3 \pi}{4}$.

[Note: Answer given in the textbook is ' -1 However, as per our calculation it is $\frac{3 \pi}{4}$ ]
