The equations of the lines which pass through the point (3, -2) and are inclined at 60° to the line $\sqrt{3} \text{x} + \text{y} = 1$ is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{3}\text{x}+\text{y}-\sqrt{3}=0,\sqrt{3}\text{x}-\text{y}-\sqrt{3}=0$

  • C
    $\text{x}+\sqrt{3}\text{y}-\sqrt{3}=0,\text{x}-\sqrt{3}\text{y}-\sqrt{3}=0$
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
  1. $\sqrt{3}\text{x}+\text{y}-\sqrt{3}=0,\sqrt{3}\text{x}-\text{y}-\sqrt{3}=0$

Solution:

Slope of the given line $\sqrt{3}\text{x}+\text{y}=1$ is, $\text{m}=-\sqrt{3}.$

Let the slope of the required line which makes an angle of 60° with the above line is m.

$\therefore \tan 60^\circ=\bigg|\frac{-\sqrt{3}-\text{m}}{1-\sqrt{3}\text{m}}\bigg|$

$\Rightarrow \bigg|\frac{-\sqrt{3}-\text{m}}{1-\sqrt{3}\text{m}}\bigg|=\sqrt{3}$

$\Rightarrow -\sqrt{3}-\text{m}=\sqrt{3}-3\text{m}$ or $-\sqrt{3}-\text{m}=-\sqrt{3}+3\text{m}$

$\Rightarrow \text{m}=\sqrt{3}$ or m = 0

Line is passing throught the point (3, -2).

Thus, the equation of the required line is: $\text{y}+2=\sqrt{3}(\text{x}-3)$ or y + 2 = 0

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{3}\text{x}-\text{y}-2-3\sqrt{3}=0$ and y + 2 = 0

If A (6, 4) and B (2, 12) are the two points, then the slope of a line perpendicular to line AB is:

Answer
  1. $\frac{1}{2}$

Solution:

Given points: A (6, 4) = (x1, y1)

B (2, 12) = (x2, y2)

We know that the slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is $\frac{(\text{y}_{2}\text{-y}_{1})}{(\text{x}_{2}-\text{x}_{1})}$

$\text{m} = \frac{(12-4)}{(2-6)} = \frac{8}{-4} = -2.$

We know that the slope of two perpendicular lines m1.m2 = -1.

The slope of a line perpendicular to line AB is $\frac{-1}{\text{m}} = \frac{-1}{-2} = \frac{1}{2}$

The equations of the sides AB, BC and CA of $\triangle \text{ABC}$ are y - x = 2, x + 2y = 1 and 3x + y + 5 = 0 respectively. The equation of the altitude through B is:

Answer
  1. x - 3y + 4 = 0

Solution:

The equation of the sides AB, BC and CA of $\triangle \text{ABC}$ are y - x = 2, x + 2y = 1 and 3x + y + 5 = 0, respectively.

Solving the equations of AB and BC, i.e. y - x = 2 and x + 2y = 1, we get:

x = -1, y = 1

So, the coordinates of B are (-1, 1).

The altitude through B is perpendicular to AC.

$\therefore$ Slope of AC = -3

Thus, slope of the altitude through B is 13. Thus, slope of the altitude through B is $\frac{1}{3}.$

Equation of the required altitude is given below:

$\text{y}-1+\frac{1}{3}(\text{x}+1)$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}-3\text{y}+4=0$

The vertices of a triangle are (6, 0), (0, 6) and (6, 6). The distance between its circumcentre and centroid is:

Answer
  1. $\sqrt{2}$

Solution:

Let A(0, 6), B(6, 0) and C(6, 6) be the vertices of the given triangle.

Centroid of $\triangle\text{ABC}=\Big(\frac{0+6+6}{3},\frac{6+0+6}{3}\Big)$

$=(4,4)$

Coordinates of $\text{N}=\Big(\frac{6+6}{2},\frac{6+0}{2}\Big)$

$=(6,3)$

$=(3,6)$

Equation of MN is y = 3

Equation of MP is x = 3

As, we know that circumcentre of a triangle is the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of any two sides.

Therefore, coordinates of circumcentre is (3, 3)

Thus, the coordinates of the circumcentre are (3, 3) and the centroid of the triangle is (4, 4).

Let d be the distance between the circumcentre and the centroid.

  1. 0

Solution:

Let A(1, 2), B(2, 1) and C $\Big(\frac{3+\sqrt{3}}{2},\frac{3+\sqrt{3}}{2}\Big)$ be the given points.

$\therefore \ \text{AB}=\sqrt{(2-1)^2+(1-2)^2}$

$=\sqrt{2}$

$\text{BC}=\sqrt{\Big(\frac{3+\sqrt{3}}{2}-2\Big)^2,\Big(\frac{3+\sqrt{3}}{2}-1\Big)^2}$

$=\sqrt{2}$

$\text{AC}=\sqrt{\Big(\frac{3+\sqrt{3}}{2}-1\Big)^2,\Big(\frac{3+\sqrt{3}}{2}-2\Big)^2}$

$=\sqrt{2}$

Thus, ABC is an equilateral triangle.

We know that the orthocentre and the circumcentre of an equilateral triangle are same.

So, the distance between the the orthocentre and the circumcentre of the triangle with vertices (1, 2), (2, 1) and $\Big(\frac{3+\sqrt{3}}{2},\frac{3+\sqrt{3}}{2}\Big)$ is 0.

Choose the correct answer.

A line passes through (2, 2) and is perpendicular to the line 3x + y = 3. Its yintercept is:

Answer
  1. $\frac{4}{3}.$

Solution:

Any line perpendicular to 3x + y = 3

$\text{x}-3\text{y}=\lambda \ (\lambda=\text{constant})$

If is passes through the point (2, 2) then

$2-3(2)=\lambda\Rightarrow \lambda=-4$

$\therefore$ Required equation is x - 3y = -4

$\Rightarrow 3\text{y}=-\text{x}-4$

$\Rightarrow \text{y}=\frac{1}{3}\text{x}+\frac{4}{3}\big[\because \text{y}=\text{mx}+\text{c}\big]$

So, the y-intercept is $\frac{4}{3}.$

Hence, the correct option is (d).

If equation of line is y = 5x + 10 then find the value of x-intercept made by the line:

Answer
  1. $10$

Solution:

Given, equation is y = 5x + 10. Y-intercept means value of y when x is zero. y = 0 + 10

⇒ y = 10

The coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from the point (2, 3) on the line x + y - 11 = 0 are:

Answer
  1. (5, 6)

Solution:

Let the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from the point (2, 3) on the line x + y - 11 = 0 be (x, y)

Now, the slope of the line x + y - 11 = 0 is -1

So, the slope of the perpendicular = 1

The equation of the perpendicular is given by

y - 3 = 1(x - 2)

⇒ x - y + 1 = 0

Solving x + y - 11 = 0 and x - y + 1 = 0, we get

x = 5 and y = 6

The equation of the straight line passing through the point (3, 2) and perpendicular to the line y = x is:

Answer
  1. x + y = 5

Solution:

Slope of the given line y = x is 1.

Thus, slope of line perpendicular to y = x is -1.

Line passes through the point (3, 2).

So, equation of the required line is:

y - 2 = -1(x - 3)

⇒ x + y = 5
