Question 12 Marks
Prove the Theorem : Non-vertical lines having slopes $m_1$ and $m_2$ are perpendicular to each other if and only if $m_1 \times m_2=-1$.
Answer
Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be inclinations of lines having slopes $m_1$ and $m_2$. As lines are non vertical $\alpha \neq \frac{\pi}{2}$ and $\beta \neq \frac{\pi}{2}$
$
\therefore \tan \alpha=m_1 \text { and } \tan \beta=m_2
$
From Fig. 5.5 and 5.6 we have,
$\begin{aligned} & \alpha-\beta=90^{\circ} \text { or } \alpha-\beta=-90^{\circ} \\ & \alpha-\beta= \pm 90^{\circ} \\ & \therefore \cos (\alpha-\beta)=0 \\ & \therefore \cos \alpha \cos \beta+\sin \alpha \sin \beta=0 \\ & \therefore \sin \alpha \sin \beta=-\cos \alpha \cos \beta \\ & \therefore \tan \alpha \tan \beta=-1 \\ & \therefore m_1 m_2=-1\end{aligned}$

Question 22 Marks
Show that there is only one line which passes through $B(5,5)$ and the sum of whose intercepts is zero.
Answer
When line is passing through origin, the sum of intercepts made by the line is zero.
Slope of line passing through origin and $B(5,5)$ is
$
m=\frac{5-0}{5-0}=1
$
Equation of the line having slope $m$ and passing through origin $(0,0)$ is $y=m x$.
The equation of the required line is $y = x$
$
\therefore x-y=0
$
$\therefore$ There is only one line which passes through $B (5,5)$ and the sum of whose intercepts is zero.

Question 32 Marks
The perpendicular from the origin to a line meets it at $(-2, 9).$ Find the equation of the line.
Answer
Image
Slope of $O N=\frac{9-0}{-2-0}=\frac{-9}{2}$
Since line $A B \perp O N$,
slope of the line $A B$ perpendicular to $O N$ is $\frac{2}{9}$ and it passes through point $N(-2,9)$.
Equation of the line in slope point form is $y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$
Equation of line $A B$ is
$ y-9=\frac{2}{9}(x+2)$
$\Rightarrow 9(y-9)=2(x+2)$
$\Rightarrow 9 y-81=2 x+4$
$\Rightarrow 2 x-9 y+85=0 $

Question 42 Marks
Find points on the X-axis whose distance from the line $\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{4}=1$ is $4$ units.
Answer
The equation of line is $\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{4}=1$
i.e. $4 x+3 y-12=0$
Let $(h, 0)$ be a point on the $X$-axis.
The distance of this point from line (i) is $4.$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{|4 h+3(0)-12|}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}}=4$
$\Rightarrow \frac{|4 h -12|}{5}=4$
$\Rightarrow|4 h -12|=20$
$\Rightarrow 4 h -12=20 \text { or } 4 h -12=-20$
$\Rightarrow 4 h =32 \text { or } 4 h =-8$
$\Rightarrow h =8 \text { or } h =-2 $
$\therefore$ The required points are $(8,0)$ and $(-2,0)$.

Line through $A(h, 3)$ and $B(4,1)$ intersect the line $lx – 9y -19 = 0$ at right angle. Find the value of $h.$
Answer
Given, $A(h, 3)$ and $B(4,1)$

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

Let $m_2$ be the slope of the line $2 x-4 y+15=0$.

$\therefore m_2=\frac{- \text { coefficient of } x}{\text { coefficient of } y}=\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Since m1 = m2 the given lines are parallel to each other.

Answer
Let D and E be the midpoints of side AB and side BC respectively. The equation of the line DE is

$\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \mathrm{D} & =\left(\frac{3+2}{2}, \frac{4+0}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{5}{2}, 2\right) \text { and } \\ \mathrm{E} & =\left(\frac{2-1}{2}, \frac{0+6}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{1}{2}, 3\right)\end{aligned}$

$\therefore \quad$ The equation of the line $\mathrm{DE}$ is

$\begin{aligned} \frac{y-2}{3-2} & =\frac{x-\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{5}{2}} \\ \therefore \quad \frac{y-2}{1} & =\frac{2 x-5}{-4}\end{aligned}$

The vertices of a triangle are A(3, 4), B(2, 0) and C(- 1, 6). Find the equations of the lines containing. : the median AD
Answer
Let D be the midpoint of side BC. Then, AD is the median through A.

$\therefore D=\left(\frac{2-1}{2}, \frac{0+6}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{1}{2}, 3\right)$

The median AD passes through the points

$A(3,4)$ and $D\left(\frac{1}{2}, 3\right)$

Image

∴ The equation of the median AD is

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

$\frac{5}{2}(y-4)=x-3$

∴ 5y – 20 = 2x – 6

∴ 2x – 5y + 14 = 0

The vertices of a triangle are A(3, 4), B(2, 0) and C(- 1, 6). Find the equations of the lines containing. : 1.side BC
Answer
Vertices of AABC are A(3, 4), B(2, 0) and C(- 1, 6).

Equation of the line in two point form is

$\frac{y-y_1}{y_2-y_1}=\frac{x-x_1}{x_2-x_1}$

∴ The equation of the side BC is

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{y-0}{6-0}=\frac{x-2}{-1-2} \\ & \frac{y}{6}=\frac{x-2}{-3}\end{aligned}$

∴ – 3y = 6x – 12

∴ 6x + 3y – 12 = 0

Question 422 Marks
Find the equation of the line having inclination 135° and making x-intercept 7.
Answer
Given, Inclination of line = 0 = 135°

∴ Slope of the line (m) = tan 0 = tan 135°

= tan (90° + 45°)

= – cot 45° = – 1 x-intercept of the required line is 7.

∴ The line passes through (7, 0).

Equation of the line in slope point form is $y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

$\therefore$ The equation of the required line is $y-0=-1(x-7)$

∴ y = -x + 7

∴ x + y – 7 = 0

Question 432 Marks
Line y = mx + c passes through the points A(2,1) and B(3,2). Determine m and c.
Answer
Given, A(2, 1) and B(3,2)

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

∴ The equation of the required line is

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{y-1}{2-1}=\frac{x-2}{3-2} \\ & \therefore \frac{y-1}{1}=\frac{x-2}{1} \\ & \therefore y-1=x-2 \\ & \therefore y=x-1\end{aligned}$

Comparing this equation with y = mx + c,

we get m = 1 and c = – 1

Alternate Method:

Points A(2, 1) and B(3, 2) lie on the line y = mx + c.

∴ They must satisfy the equation.

∴ 2m + c = 1 …(i) and 3m + c = 2 …(ii) equation (ii) – equation (i) gives m = 1

Substituting m = 1 in (i), we get 2(1) + c = 1

∴ c = 1 – 2 = – 1

Question 442 Marks
Find the equation of the line: passing through the origin and which bisects the portion of the line 3JC + y = 6 intercepted between the co-ordinate axes.
Answer

Image

Given equation of the line is 3x +y = 6.

$\therefore \frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{6}=1$

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

where a = 2, b = 6 ∴ The line 3x + y = 6 intersects the X-axis and Y-axis at A(2, 0) and B(0, 6) respectively. Required line is passing through the midpoint of AB.

$\therefore$ Midpoint of $A B=\left(\frac{2+0}{2}, \frac{0+6}{2}\right)=(1,3)$

∴ Required line passes through (0, 0) and (1,3).

Equation of the line in two point form is

$\frac{y-y_1}{y_2-y_1}=\frac{x-x_1}{x_2-x_1}$

∴ The equation of the required line is

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{y-0}{3-0}=\frac{x-0}{1-0} \\ & \frac{y}{3}=\frac{x}{1} \\ & \therefore y=3 x \\ & \therefore 3 x-y=0\end{aligned}$

Alternate Method:

Given equation of the line is 3x + y = 6 …

(i) Substitute y = 0 in (i) to get a point on X-axis.

∴ 3x + 0 = 6

∴ x = 2 Substitute x = 0 in

(i) to get a point on Y-axis.

∴ 3(0) + 7 = 6 ∴ y = 6

∴ The line 3x + y = 6 intersects the X-axis and Y-axis at A(2,0) and B(0,6) respectively.

Let M be the midpoint of AB.

$M=\left(\frac{2+0}{2}, \frac{0+6}{2}\right)=(1,3)$

Slope of $O M(m)=\frac{3-0}{1-0}=3$

Equation of OM is of the formy = mx.

∴ The equation of the required line is y = 3x

∴ 3x – y = 0
