Question 11 Mark
Find the values of k for which the line (k - 3) x - (4 - k2)y + k2 - 7k + 6 = 0 is passing through the origin.
Answer
The given equation of the line is
(k–3) x – (4 – k2) 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-k2)(0) + k2 -7k +6 = 0
$\Rightarrow$ k2 -7k +6 = 0
$\Rightarrow$ k2 -6k-k +6 = 0
$\Rightarrow$ (k-6)(k-1)=0
$\Rightarrow$ k = 1or 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 – k2 ) y + k2 –7k + 6 = 0 is parallel to the y-axis.
Answer
The given equation of the line is
(k–3) x – (4 – k2) 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 k2 = 4
$\Rightarrow$ k2 = 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 – k2 ) y + k2 –7k + 6 = 0 is parallel to the x-axis.
Answer
The given equation of the line is
(k–3) x – (4 – k2) y + $k^2-7k+6=0$
The given line can be written as
(4 – k2) = (k–3) x + k2 –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 (x1, y1) is given by
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
$\therefore$ 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

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
$\Rightarrow$ 3y = -6x + 5 $\Rightarrow y = \frac{{ - 6}}{3}x + \frac{5}{3} \Rightarrow y = - 2x + \frac{5}{3}$

Comparing it with y = mx + c, we have
m = -2 and $c = \frac{5}{3}$

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 (x0, y0), if and only if, its coordinates satisfy the equation y - y0 = m (x - x0)
$\therefore$ 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.

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 x1 = 1, y1 = – 1, x2 = 3 and y2 = 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 a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0, where b1, b2 $\ne$ 0 are: Perpendicular if a1b+ b1b= 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 m1.m2 = –1,
$\Rightarrow \frac{a_{1}}{b_{1}} \cdot \frac{a_{2}}{b_{2}}=-1 $ or a1a2 + b1b2 = 0

Question 121 Mark
Show that two lines a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0, where b1, b2 $\ne$ 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 m1 = m2.
$\Rightarrow -\frac{a_{1}}{b_{1}}=-\frac{a_{2}}{b_{2}} \text { or } \frac{a_{1}}{b_{1}}=\frac{a_{2}}{b_{2}}$
