Q.1.1.1Find the locus of P, if for all values of a, the coordinates of a moving point P is (i) (9 cos α, 9 sin α) (ii) (9 cos α, 6 sin α)v
Answer:

(i) (9 cos α, 9 sin α)
Let P (h, k) be any point on the required path. Then by the given data we have h = 9 cos α, k = 9 sin α
The locus of P (h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
∴ The required locus becomes x 2 + y 2 = 81
(ii) ( 9 cos α, 6 sin α)
Let P (h, k) be any point on the required path. Then by the given data we have h = 9 cos α, k = 6 sin α
The locus of p(h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y
∴ The required locus is \(\frac{x^{2}}{81}+\frac{y^{2}}{36}\) = 1

Q.2.1.2Find the locus of a point P that moves a constant distant of (i) two units from the x-axis (ii) three units from the y-axis.v
Answer:

(i) Two units from x-axis:
Let P (h, k) be any point on the required path. From the given data, we have k = 2
The locus of P (h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
∴ The required locus is y = 2
(ii) Three units from y-axis:
Let (h, k) be any point on the required path. From the given data, we have h = 3.
The locus of P (h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
∴ The required locus is x = 3

Q.4.1.4Find the values of k and b. If the points P(-3, 1) and Q (2, b) lie on the locus of x 2 – 5x + ky = 0v
Answer:

Given P (-3, 1) lie on x 2 – 5x + ky = 0
⇒ (-3) 2 – 5(-3) + k(1) = 0
9 + 15 + k = 0 ⇒ k = -24
Q (2, b) lie on x 2 – 5x + ky = 0
(2) 2 – 5(2) + k(b) = 0 ⇒ 4 – 5(2) – 24b = 0

Q.5.1.5A straight rod of length 8 units slides with its ends A and B always on the x and y axes respectively, then find the locus of the midpoint of the line segment AB.v
Answer:

Given A and B are the ends of the straight rod of length 8 unit on the x and y-axes. Let A be (a, 0) and B (0, b).
Let M (h, k) be the midpoint of AB (h,k) =
In the right-angled ∆ OAB
AB 2 = OA 2 + OB 2
8 2 = a 2 + b 2
64 = (2h) 2 + (2k)
64 = 4h 2 + 4k 2
h 2 + k 2 = \(\frac{64}{4}\) = 16
The locus of M (h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y
∴ The required locus is x 2 + y 2 = 16

Q.6.1.6Find the equation of the locus of a point such that the sum of the squares of the distance from the points (3, 5), (1, -1) is equal to 20.v
Answer:

Let P (h, k) be the moving point
Let the given point be A (3, 5) and B (1, -1)
We are given PA 2 + PB 2 = 20
⇒ (h – 3) 2 + (k – 5) 2 + (h – 1) 2 + (k + 1) 2 = 20
⇒ h 2 – 6h + 9 + k 2 – 10k + 25 + h 2 – 2h + 1 + k 2 + 2k + 1 = 20
(i.e.) 2h 2 + 2k 2 – 8h – 8k + 36 – 20 = 0
2h 2 + 2k 2 – 8h – 8k + 16 = 0
(÷ by 2 ) h 2 + k 2 – 4h – 4k + 8 = 0
So the locus of P is x 2 + y 2 – 4x – 4y + 8 = 0

Q.7.1.7Find the equation of the locus of the point P such that the line segment AB, joining the points A(1,-6) and B(4, – 2) subtends a right angle at P.v
Answer:

Given A (1, – 6) and B (4, – 2).
Let P (h, k) be a point such that the line segment AB subtends a right angle at P.
∴ ∆ APB is a right-angled triangle.
AB 2 = AP 2 + BP 2 ………… (1)
AB 2 = (4 – 1) 2 + (- 2 + 6) 2
AB 2 = 3 2 + 4 2 = 9 + 16 = 25
AP 2 = (h – 1) 2 + (k + 6) 2
BP 2 = (h – 4) 2 + (k + 2) 2
(1) ⇒
25 = (h – 1) 2 + (k + 6) 2 + (h – 4) 2 + (k + 2) 2
25 = h 2 – 2h + 1 + k 2 + 12k + 36 + h 2 – 8h + 16 + k 2 + 4k + 4
25 = 2h 2 + 2k 2 – 10h + 16k + 57
2h 2 + 2k 2 – 10h + 16k + 57 – 25 = 0
2h 2 + 2k 2 – 10h + 16k + 32 = 0
h 2 + k 2 – 5h + 8k + 16 =0
The locus of P (h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
∴ The required locus is x 2 + y 2 – 5x + 8y + 16 = 0

Q.8.1.8If O is origin and R is a variable point on y 2 = 4x, then find the equation of the locus of the mid-point of segment OR.v
Answer:

Let the variable point R be (x, y). Let M (h, k) be the midpoint of R.
But R(x, y) is a point on y 2 = 4x
∴ (2k) 2 = 4(2h)
4k 2 = 8h
k 2 = 2h
The locus of M (h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
∴ The required locus is y 2 = 2x

Answer:

Let the moving point P be (h, k)
By the given data we have
The locus of P ( h, k ) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y
∴ The required locus is \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}\) = 1
b 2 x 2 – a 2 y 2 = a 2 b 2

Q.10.1.10If P (2, – 7) is given point and Q is a point on 2x 2 + 9y 2 = 18 then find the equations of the locus of the midpoint of PQ.v
Answer:

Given P is (2, -7) and let Q be (x, y)
Given that Q is a point on 2x 2 + 9y 2 = 18
Let M (h, k) be the midpoint of PQ
2h = 2 + x, 2k = – 7 + y
x = 2h – 2, y = 2k + 7
But Q(x, y) is a point on 2x 2 + 9y 2 = 18
∴ 2 (2h – 2) 2 + 9 (2k + 7) 2 = 18
2 [4h 2 – 8h + 4] + 9 [4k 2 + 28k + 49] = 18
8h 2 – 16h + 8 + 36k 2 + 252k + 441 = 18
8h 2 + 36k 2 – 16h + 252k + 449 = 18
8h 2 + 36k 2 – 16h + 252k +431 =0
The locus of M ( h, k ) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
∴ The required locus is
8x 2 + 36y 2 – 16x + 252y + 431 = 0

Q.11.1.11If R is any point on the x-axis and Q is any point on the y-axis and P is a variable point on RQ with RP = b, PQ = a, then find the equation of locus of P.v
Answer:

Given R is any point on the x-axis and Q is any point on the y-axis.
Let R be (x, 0) and Q be (0, y)
Let P (h, k ) be the variable point on RQ such that RP = b and PQ = a
The point P ( h, k ) divides the line joining the points R(x, 0) and Q (0, y) in the ratio b: a
Substituting in equation (1), we have
The locus of P (h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
∴ The required locus is \(\frac{x^{2}}{\mathrm{a}^{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{y}^{2}}{\mathrm{~b}^{2}}\) = 1

Q.12.1.12If the points P (6, 2) and Q (- 2, 1 ) and R are the vertices of a ∆PQR and R is the point on the locus y = x 2 – 3x + 4 then find the equation of the locus of the centroid of ∆PQR.v
Answer:

Given P (6, 2), Q (-2, 1), R (a, b) are the vertices of ∆ PQR where R (a, b) lies on y = x 2 – 3x + 4
∴ b = a 2 – 3a + 4 (1)
Let the centroid of ∆ PQR be G (h, k)
Substituting in equation (1) we have
(1) ⇒ 3k – 3 = (3h – 4) 2 – 3(3h – 4) + 4
3k – 3 = 9h 2 – 24h + 16 – 9h + 12 + 4
9h 2 – 33h + 32 – 3k + 3 = 0
9h 2 – 33h – 3k + 35 = 0
The locus of G (h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
∴ The required locus is 9x 2 – 33x – 3y + 35 = 0

Q.13.1.13If Q is a point on the locus of x 2 + y 2 + 4x – 3y +7 = 0, then find the equation of locus of P which divides segment OQ externally in the ratio 3:4 where O is origin.v
Answer:

Let Q be (a, b) lying on the locus
x 2 + y 2 + 4x – 3y + 7 = 0
∴ a 2 + b 2 + 4a – 3b + 7 = 0
Let the movable point P be (h, k)
Given P divides OQ externally in the ratio 3: 4
Substituting in equation (1) we have
h 2 + k 2 – 12h + 9k + 63 = 0
The locus of P(h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
∴ The required locus is
x 2 + y 2 – 12x + 9y + 63 = 0

Q.14.1.14Find the points on the locus of points that are 3 units from the x-axis and 5 units from the point (5, 1)v
Answer:

Given that the required pointis3unitsfrom x-axis and 5 units from the point P (5, 1). Let Q (h, 3) and K (h,- 3) be the required points.
∴ PQ = 5
\(\sqrt{(5-\mathrm{h})^{2}+(1-3)^{2}}\) = 5
(5 – h) 2 + (- 2) 2 = 25
25 – 10h + h 2 + 4 = 25
h 2 – 10h + 29 – 25 = 0
h 2 – 10h + 4 = 0
PR = 5
(5 – k) 2 + 4 2 = 25
25 – 10k + k 2 + 16 = 25
k 2 – 10k + 16 = 0
∴ R (8, – 3), (2, – 3)
∴ Required points are
(5 + √21, 3), (5 – √21, 3), (8, – 3), (2, – 3)

Q.15.1.15The sum of the distance of a moving point from the points (4, 0) and (- 4, 0) is always 10 units. Find the equation to the locus of the moving point.v
Answer:

Let A be (4, 0) and B be (-4, 0). Let the moving point be p(h, k)
Given PA + PB = 10
16h 2 + 200h + 625 = 25[h 2 + 8h + 16 + k 2 ]
16h 2 + 200h + 625 = 25h 2 + 200h + 400 + 25k 2
9h 2 + 26k 2 = 225

Q.16.2.1Find the equation of the lines passing through the point (1, 1): (i) with y – intercept – 4 (ii) with slope 3 (iii) and (-2, 3) (iv) and the perpendicular from the origin makes an angle 60° with x – axis.v
Answer:

(i) with y – intercept – 4
The equation the line with slope m and having y – intercept b is y = mx + b ——- (1)
Given b = – 4
∴ (1) ⇒ y = m x – 4
Given this line passes through the point (1, 1)
∴ 1 = m 1 – 4 ⇒ m = 5
∴ The required equation is y = 5x – 4
(ii) Slope m = 3, passing through (x 1, y 1 ) = (1, 1)
Equation of the line is y – y 1 = m(x – x 1 )
(i.e) y- 1 = 3(x – 1) ⇒ y – 1 = 3x – 3 ⇒ 3x – y = 2
(iii) (-2, 3)
The equation of line joining the two points (x 1, y 1 ) and (x 2, y 2 ) is
Given (x 1, y 1 ) = (1, 1), (x 2, y 2 ) = (- 2, 3)
∴ The equation of the required line is
– 3 (y – 1) = 2 (x – 1)
– 3y + 3 = 2x – 2
2x + 3y – 2 – 3 = 0
2x + 3y – 5 = 0
(iv) The perpendicular from the origin makes an angle 60° with x – axis
The equation of the line in the normal form is x cos α + y sin α = p ——- (1)
Given α = 60°
∴ cos 60° = \(\frac{1}{2}\), sin 60° = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
(1) ⇒ x. \(\frac{1}{2}\) + y. \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) = p
x + √3 = 2p —— (2)
This line passes through the point (1,1)
∴ 1 + √3 = 2p
Substituting for p in equation (2)
∴ The required equation is x + √3y = 1 + √3

Q.17.2.2If P (r, c) is mid point of a line segment between the axes then show that \(\frac{x}{\mathbf{r}}+\frac{\mathbf{y}}{\mathbf{c}}\) = 2v

∴ x-intercept = 3k
y-intercept = 10k
∴ The equation of the straight line is \(\frac{x}{3 k}+\frac{y}{10 k}\) = 1
This line passes through the point P (1, 5).
∴ The required equation is

Q.19.2.4If p is length of perpendicular from origin to the line whose intercepts on the axes are a and b, then show that \(\frac{1}{\mathbf{p}^{2}}=\frac{1}{\mathbf{a}^{2}}+\frac{1}{\mathbf{b}^{2}}\)v
Answer:

Q.21.2.6An object was launched from a place P in constant speed to hit a target. At the 15 th second, it was 1400 m from the target, and at the 18 th second 800 m away. Find (i) the distance between the place and the target (ii) The distance covered by it in 15 seconds (iii) time taken to hit the target.v
Answer:

Let us take the time T along the x-axis and the Distance D along the y-axis.
Given when time T = 15 s, the distance D = 1400 m
The corresponding point is (15, 1400)
Also when time T = 18 s, the distance D = 800 m.
The corresponding point is (18, 800)
(i) The distance between the place and the target:
∴ The relation connecting T and D is the equation of the straight line joining the points (15, 1400) and (18, 800)
To find the distance between the target and the place, Put T = 0 in equation (1)
4400 – D = 0 ⇒ D = 4400 m.
Required distance = 4400 m.
(ii) The distance covered by it in 15 seconds:
Put T = 15 in the above equation
15 = \(\frac{1400-\mathrm{D}}{200}\) + 15
∴ \(\frac{1400-\mathrm{D}}{200}\) = 0 ⇒ D = 1400 m.
(iii) Time taken to hit the Target:
When the target is reached D = 0
∴ (1) ⇒ T = \(\frac{1400-0}{200}\) + 15
T = \(\frac{1400}{200}\) + 15
T = 7 + 15 = 22 seconds
∴ The time taken to hit the target is 22 seconds

Answer:

Let us choose the year along the x-axis and the population of the city along the y-axis.
Given In the year 2005 population is 1,35,000
The corresponding point is (2005, 1,35,000)
In the year 2010, population is 1,45,000
The corresponding point is (2010, 1,45,000)
Let Y denote the year and P denote the population.
The relation connecting Y and P is the equation of the straight line joining the points (2005, 1,35,000) and (2010, 1,45,000)
When y = 2015
P = 1,35,000 + 10 × 2,000
P = 1,35,000 + 20,000 = 1,55,000
∴ The population in the year 2015 is 1,55,000

Q.23.2.8Find the equation of the line if the perpendicular drawn from the origin makes an angle 30° with x – axis and its length is 12.v
Answer:

Given length of the perpendicular p = 12
Angle made by the perpendicular α = 30°
The equation the straight line in the normal form is
x cos α + y sin α = p
∴ The required equation of the straight line is
x cos 30° + y sin 30° = 12
x\(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) + y × \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 12
√3x + y = 24

Q.24.2.9Find the equation of the straight lines passing through (8, 3) and having intercepts whose sum is 1.v
Answer:

Let a and b be the x and y-intercepts of the line.
Given a + b = 1
b = 1 – a —— (1)
The equation of the straight line is
The line passes through the point (8, 3)
8(1 – a) + 3a = a(1 – a)
8 – 8a + 3a = a – a 2
a 2 – 5a + 8 – a = 0
a 2 – 6a + 8 = 0
a 2 – 4a – 2a + 8 = 0
a(a – 4) – 2(a – 4) = 0
(a- 4) (a – 2) = 0
a = 4 or a = 2
When a = 2, b = 1 – 2 = – 1
When a = 4, b = 1 – 4 = – 3
∴ The equation of the straight lines are
x – 2y = 2 and 3x – 4y = 12

Q.25.2.10Show that the points (1, 3), (2, 1) and \(\left(\frac{1}{2}, 4\right)\) are collinear, by using (i) concept of slope (ii) using a straight line and (iii) any other method.v
Answer:

Let the given points be A (1, 3), B (2, 1) and \(\left(\frac{1}{2}, 4\right)\)
(i) Slope Method:
A (1, 3 ), B (2, 1 ), C\(\left(\frac{1}{2}, 4\right)\)
From equations (1) and (2)
Slope of AB = Slope of BC
∴ The given points A, B, C are collinear.
(ii) Using a straight line
A(1, 3), B(2, 1), C\(\left(\frac{1}{2}, 4\right)\)
The equation of the straight line joining the points
A( 1, 3), B(2, 1) is
-2(x- 1) = y – 3
– 2x + 2 = y – 3
2x + y – 2 – 3 = 0
2x+ y – 5 = 0 ——- (2)
Substituting the third point C \(\left(\frac{1}{2}, 4\right)\) in equation (2)
we have 2\(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\) + 4 – 5 = 0
1 + 4 – 5 = 0
0 = 0
∴ The third point C\(\left(\frac{1}{2}, 4\right)\) lies on the straight line AB.
Hence the points A, B, C are collinear.
(iii) Distance method:
A(1, 3), B(2, 1), C\(\left(\frac{1}{2}, 4\right)\)
Thus BA + AC = BC
∴ The points A, B, C are collinear.

Q.26.2.11A straight line is passing through the point A (1, 2) with slope \(\frac{5}{12}\). Find the points on the line which are 13 units away from A.v
Answer:

Slope of the line m = tan θ = \(\frac{5}{12}\)
sin θ = \(\frac{5}{13}\), cos θ = \(\frac{12}{13}\)
The parametric equation of the line passing through the point (1, 2) making angle θ with x – axis is
Any point on this line is
(1 + r cos θ, 2 + r sin θ) ……… (1)
where r is the distance of any point from A (1, 2) on the line.
To find the point which is 13 units away from A (1, 2) on the line.
Substitute r = ± 13, cos θ = \(\frac{12}{13}\), sin θ = \(\frac{5}{13}\) in equation (1)
Required point = \(\left(1 \pm 13\left(\frac{12}{13}\right), 2 \pm 13\left(\frac{5}{13}\right)\right)\)
= (1 ± 12, 2 ± 5)
= (1 + 12, 2 + 5)
= (1 + 12, 2 + 5) or (1 – 12, 2 – 5)
= (13, 7) or (- 11, – 3)

Q.27.2.12A 150 m long train is moving with a constant velocity of 12.5 m/s. (i) The equation of motion of the train. (ii) Time taken to cross a pole. (iii) The time to cross the bridge of length 850m is?v
Answer:

Length of the train = 150 m
Constant velocity of the train = 12.5 m/s
(i) The equation of motion of the train:
Take time in seconds along the x-axis and distance in meters along the y-axis.
Let the train be at the origin.
∴ Length of the train = 150 m is the negative y-intercept
b = -150
The slope of the motion of the train m = 12.5 m/s
The equation of the line with slope-intercept form is
y = mx + b
∴ y = 12.5x – 150
which is the required equation of motion of the train.
(ii) Time taken to cross a pole:
The equation of motion is y = 12.5 x – 150
To find the time taken to cross the pole, Put y = 0
0 = 12.5 x – 150 ⇒ 12.5 x = 150
⇒ x = \(\frac{150}{12.5}\) = 12 sec
(iii) The time taken to cross the bridge of length 850 m
The equation of motion is y = 12.5 x – 150
To find the time taken to cross the bridge of length 850 m, put y = 850
850 = 12.5 x – 150

Answer:

Choose the weight along the x-axis and Length along the y-axis.
(a)
(b) The points are(2, 3), (4, 4), (5, 4.5), (8, 6) The relation connecting weight and Length is the equation of the straight line joining the points (2, 3) and (4, 4)
x – 2 = 2(y – 3)
x – 2 = 2y – 6
x – 2y + 6 – 2 = 0
x – 2y + 4 = 0 —– (1)
which the required relation connecting weight and length.
(c) To find the actual length of the spring, put weight x = 0 in equation (1)
0 – 2y + 4 = 0 ⇒ 2y = 4 ⇒ y = 2
∴ The actual length of the spring is 2 cm.
(d) If the spring stretch to 9 cm long, To find the required weight, put y = 9, in equation (1)
(1) ⇒ x – 2 (9) + 4 = 0
x – 18 +4 = 0 ⇒ x = 14
Weight to be added is 14 kg.
(e) Next we find the length of the string when a weight of 6 kg is added.
Put x = 6 in equation (1)
6 – 2y + 4 = 0 ⇒ 2y = 10 ⇒ y = 5cm
∴ Required length is 5 cm.

Q.29.2.14A family is using Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) of weight 14.2 kg for consumption. (Full weight 29.5 kg includes the empty cylinders tare weight of 15.3 kg.). If it is used at a constant rate, then it lasts for 24 days. Then the new cylinder is replaced (i) Find the equation relating the quantity of gas in the cylinder to the days, (ii) Draw the graph for the first 96 days.v
Answer:

(i) Find the equation relating the quantity of gas in the cylinder to the days.
Given Total weight of cylinder = 29.5 kg
Weight of the gas inside the cylinder = 14.2 kg
Let x denote the number of days of consumption of the gas, y denote the quantity of gas inside a cylinder.
Initially x = 0 then y = 14.2
The corresponding point is (0, 14.2)
The gas inside the cylinder lasts for 24 days
∴ When x = 24, we have y = 0
The corresponding point is (24, 0)
∴ The linear relation between the quantity of gas in the cylinder to the number of days of consumption is the equation of the line joining the points (0, 14.2 ) and (24, 0).
which is the required relation
(ii) Draw the graph for the first 96 days:
The relation connecting the quantity of gas to the number of days of consumption is
y = –\(\frac{71}{120}\)x + 14.2
Let f(x) = –\(\frac{71}{120}\) x + 14.2
Here f(x) is a periodic function of period 24
∴ f(x + 24) = f(x)
When x = 0
f(0) = –\(\frac{71}{120}\) × 0 + 14.2 ⇒ y = 14.2
The corresponding point is (0, 14.2)
When x = 24
f(24) = –\(\frac{71}{120}\) × 0 + 14.2 ⇒ y = 14.2
⇒ f(24) = –\(\frac{71}{5}\) + 14.2
= – 14.2 + 14.2 = 0 ⇒ y = 0
Corresponding point is (24, 0)
When x = 48
f(48) = f(24 + 24 + 0) = f(24 + 0)
= f(o) = o
Corresponding point is (48, 0)
When x = 72
f(72) = f(24 + 24 + 24 + 0)
= f(24 + 24 + 0) = f(24 + 0)
= f(0) = 0
Corresponding point is (72, 0)
The required graph is

(i) Any line parallel to x + 3y – 4 = 0 will be of the form x + 3y + k = 0.
It passes through (1,-1) ⇒ 1 – 3 + k = 0 ⇒ k = 2
So the required line is x + 3y + 2 = 0
(ii) Any line perpendicular to 3x + 4y – 6 = 0 will be of the form 4x – 3y + k = 0.
It passes through (1, -1) ⇒ 4 + 3 + k = 0 ⇒ k = -7.

Given that line(1) passes through the point (-1, 2)
(1) ⇒ (4(-1) – 2 + 3) + λ (5(- 1) + 2(2) + 7) = 0
(-4 – 2 + 3) + λ (-5 + 4 + 7) = 0
– 3 + 6 λ = 0 ⇒ λ = \(\frac{3}{6}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
∴ The equation of the required line is
(4x – y + 3) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) (5x + 2y + 7) = 0
2(4x – y + 3) + (5x + 2y + 7) = 0
8x – 2y + 6 + 5x + 2y + 7 = 0
13x +13 = 0 ⇒ x + 1 = 0
(ii) Equation of a line parallel to x – y + 5 = 0 will be of the form x – y + k = 0.
It passes through (-1, -1) ⇒ -1 + 1 + k = 0 ⇒ k = 0.
So the required line is x – y = 0 ⇒ x = y.

Given that the line (1) perpendicular to the line
x – 2y + 1 = 0 ………….. (3)
(1) ⇒ (4x – y + 3) + λ (5x + 2y + 7) = 0
4x – y + 3 + 5λx + 2λy + 7λ = 0
(4 + 5λ)x + (2λ – 1 )y + (3 + 7λ) = 0 ……….. (4)
Slope of this line (3) = \(-\frac{4+5 \lambda}{2 \lambda-1}\)
Slope of line (2) = \(-\frac{1}{-2}=\frac{1}{2}\)
Given that line (3) and line (4) are perpendicular
4 + 5λ = 2(2λ – 1 )
4 + 5λ = 4λ – 2
λ = – 6
Substituting the value of λ in equation (1) we have
(4x – y + 3) – 6 (5x + 2y + 7) = 0
4x – y + 3 – 30x – 12y – 42 = 0
-26x – 13y – 39 =0
2x + y + 3 = 0

Q.43.3.14If the line joining two points A (2, 0) and B (3, 1) is rotated about A in an anticlockwise direction through an angle of 15°, then find the equation of the line in the new position.v
Answer:

Slope of the line AB
m = tan θ = \(\frac{1-0}{3-2}\)
tan θ = 1
θ = 45°
∴ The line AB makes an angle 45° with x-axis.
Given that the line AB is rotated through an angle of 15° about the point A in the anticlockwise direction.
∴ The angle made by the new line AB’ is 45° + 15° = 60°
Slope of the new line AB’ is m 1 = tan 60° = √3
∴ The equation of the new line AB’ is the equation of the straight line passing through the point A (2, 0) and having slope m 1 = √3

Slope of AP, m 2 = \(\frac{2-0}{1-x}=\frac{2}{1-x}\)
Slope of the line joining the points B (5, 3 ) and A (x, 0)
Slope of AP, m 3 = \(\frac{3-0}{5-x}=\frac{3}{5-x}\)
From equations (1) and (2)
\(\frac{3}{5-x}\) = –\(\frac{2}{1-x}\)
3(1 – x) = – 2 (5 – x)
3 – 3x = – 10 + 2x

Let x represent the number of copies and y represent the cost of photocopying.
Given photo copying charge for 1 copy is Rs. 1.50 for the first 10 copies and Rs. 1.00 per copy after the 10 th copy.
∴ The relation connecting the number of copies and cost of photocopying charge is given by
y = 1.50x, 0 ≤ x ≤ 10
y = 10(1.50) + (x – 10) (1)
y = 15 + x – 10
y = x + 5 ………… (1)
The graph for 0 to 50 copies:
When x = 10, y = 1.50 × x
⇒ y = 1.50 × 10 = 15
The corresponding point is (10, 15)
When x = 20, y = x + 5
⇒ y = 20 + 5 = 25
The corresponding point is (20, 25)
When x = 30, y = x + 5
⇒ y = 30 + 5 = 35
The corresponding point is (30, 35)
When x = 40, y = 40 + 5 = 45
The corresponding point is (40, 45 )
When x = 50, y = 50 + 5 = 55
The corresponding point is (50, 55 )

Answer:

The equations of the given straight lines are
y = 5x + b ……….. (1)
3x – 4y = 6 ……….. (2)
To find atleast two equations from the family y = 5x + b for which b is an integer and x – coordinate of the point of intersection of (1) and (2) is an integer. Solving (1)and (2) using equation (1) inequation (2) (2) ⇒ 3x – 4 (5x + b) = 6
3x – 20x – 4b = 6
-17x = 6 + 4b
The corresponding equation of the line is = 5x + 7
When b = – 10, we have x = \(\frac{6-40}{-17}\)
= \(\frac{-34}{-17}\) = 2
The corresponding equation of the line is y = 5x – 10
Thus y = 5x + 7 and y = 5x – 10 are the two straight lines belonging to the family such that b is an integer and the x – coordinate of the point of intersection with the line (2) is an integer.

Q.49.3.20Find all the equations of the straight lines in the family of the lines y = mx – 3 for which m and the x – coordinate of the point of intersection of the lines with x – y = 6 are integers.v

x – y = 6 ………. (2)
Solving equations (1) and (2)
(2) ⇒ x – (mx – 3 ) = 6
x – mx + 3 = 6
x (1 – m) = 3
x = \(\frac{3}{1-\mathrm{m}}\) …….. (3)
From equation (3) let us find the values of x and m for which they are integers. The only values of m for which, x is an integer are m = 0, 2, -2
When m = 0, x = \(\frac{3}{1-0}\) = 3
The corresponding equation is
y = 0. x – 3
y + 3 = 0
When m = 2, x = \(\frac{3}{1-2}\) = \(\frac{3}{-1}\) = – 3
The corresponding equation is y = -2x + 3
2x + y – 3 = 0
When m = – 2, x = \(\frac{3}{1+2}\) = \(\frac{3}{3}\) = 1
The corresponding equation is
y = – 2 x + 3
2x + y – 3 = 0
∴ The required equations of the lines are
y + 3 = 0, 2x – y – 3 = 0 and
2x + y – 3 = 0

Given that OA is the line making angle α with the line y = x.
Slope of the line OA = tan (45° – α)
The equation of OA is the equation of the line passing through the point (0, 0) having slope tan (45° – α).
y – 0 = tan(45°- α) (x – 0)
y = x tan (45°- α)
x tan (45° – α) – y = 0
Also given the line OB makes an angle α with the line y = x.
Slope of the line OB = tan(45° + α)
The equation of OB is the equation of the line passing through the point (0, 0) having slope tan(45° + α)
y – 0 = tan (45° + α) (x – 0)
y = x tan (45° + α)
x tan (45° + α) – y = 0 ………. (2)
The combined equation is
(x tan(45°- α) – y) (x tan(45°+ α) – y) = 0
x 2 tan(45° – α) tan(45° + α) – xy tan (45° – α) – xy tan(45° + α) + yz = 0

Q.55.4.6Find the equation of the pair of straight lines passing through the poInt (1,3) and perpendicular to the lines 2x -3y + 1 = 0 and 5x + y – 3 = 0.v
Answer:

Equation of a line perpendicular to 2x – 3y + 1 = 0 is of the form 3x + 2y + k = 0.
It passes through (1, 3) ⇒ 3 + 6 + k = 0 ⇒ k = – 9
So the line is 3x + 2y – 9 = 0
The equation of a line perpendicular to 5x + y – 3 = 0 will be of the form x – 5y + k = 0.
It passes through (1, 3) ⇒ 1 – 15 + k = 0 ⇒ k = 14
So the line is x – 5y + 14 = 0.
The equation of the lines is 3x + 2y – 9 = 0 and x – 5y + 14 = 0
Their combined equation is (3x + 2y – 9)(x – 5y + 14) = 0
(i.e) 3x 2 – 15xy + 42x + 2xy – 10y 2 + 28y – 9x + 45y – 126 = 0
(i.e) 3x 2 – 13xy – 10y 2 + 33x + 73y – 126 = 0

Q.56.4.7Find the separate equation of the following pair of straight lines. (i) 3x 2 + 2xy – y 2 = 0 (ii) 6(x – 1) 2 + 5(x – 1) (y – 2) – 4(y – 3) 2 = 0 (iii) 2x 2 – xy – 3y 2 – 6x + 19y – 20 = 0v
Answer:

(i) Factorising 3x 2 + 2xy – y 2 we get
3x 2 + 3xy – xy – y 2 = 3x (x + y) – y (x + y)
= (3 x – y)(x + y)
So 3x 2 + 2xy – y 2 = 0 ⇒ (3x – y) (x + y) = 0
⇒ 3x – y = 0 and x + y = 0
(ii) 6(x – 1) 2 + 5 ( x – 1) (y – 2) – 4(y – 3 ) 2 = 0
Let X = x – 1 and Y = y – 2
∴ The given equation becomes
6X 2 + 5XY – 4Y 2 = 0
6X 2 + 8 XY – 3XY – 4Y 2 = 0
2X(3X + 4Y) – Y (3X + 4Y) = 0
(2X – Y) (3X + 4Y) = 0
2X – Y = 0 and 3X + 4Y = 0
Substituting for X and Y, we have
2X – Y = 0 ⇒ 2(x – 1) – (y – 2) = 0
⇒ 2x – 2 – y + 2 = 0
⇒ 2x – y = 0
3X + 4Y = 0 ⇒ 3 (x – 1) + 4 ( y – 2 ) = 0
⇒ 3x – 3 + 4y – 8 = 0
⇒ 3x + 4y – 11 = 0
∴ The separate equations are
2x – y = 0 and 3x + 4y – 11 = 0
(iii) 2x 2 – xy – 3y 2 – 6x + 19y – 20 = 0
The given equation is
2x 2 – xy – 3y 2 – 6x + 19y – 20 = 0 ……… (1)
2x 2 – xy – 3y 2 = 2x 2 – 3xy + 2xy – 3y 2
= x (2x – 3y) + y (2x – 3y )
= (x + y) (2x – 3y)
Let the separate equation of the straight lines be
x + y + 1 = 0 and 2x – 3y + m = 0 …….. (A)
(1) ⇒ 2x 2 – xy – 3y 2 – 6x + 19y – 20 = (x + y + 1) (2x – 3y + m)
Equating the coeffident of x, y and constant term on both sides, we have
-6 = m + 2l ………. (2)
19 = m – 3l ………. (3)
lm = – 20 ………. (4)
Solving equations (2), (3) and (4) we have
Substituting the values of l and m in equation (A) the required separate equations of the lines are
x + y – 5 = 0 and 2x – 3y + 4 = 0

x 2 – 8x + 4x 2 + 4 – 4x + x 2 = 0
6x 2 – 12x + 4 = 0
3x 2 – 6x + 2 = 0
The midpoint of PQ is

Answer:

The equation of the given pair of straight lines is
6x 2 + 5xy – py 2 + 7x + qy – 5 = 0 ……….. (1)
Given that equation (1) represents a pair of perpendicular straight lines.
∴ Coefficient of x 2 + coefficient of y 2 = 0
6 – p = 0 ⇒ p = 6
6x 2 + 5xy – 6y 2 = 6x 2 + 9xy – 4xy – 6y 2
= 3x(2x + 3y) – 2y (2x + 3y)
= (2x + 3y) (3x – 2y)
Let the separate equation of the straight lines be
2x + 3y + 1 = 0 and 3x – 2y + m = 0
6x 2 + 5xy – 6y 2 + 7x + qy – 5
= (2x + 3y + 1)(3x – 2y + m)
Comparing the coefficients of x, y and constant terms on both sides
2m + 3l = 7 ………… (2)
3m – 2l = q ……….. (3)
lm = – 5 …….. (4)
Equation (4) ⇒ l = 1, m = – 5
or l = – 1, m = 5
When l = 1, m = – 5, equation (2) does not satisfy.
∴ l = – 1, m = 5
Substituting in equation (3)
3 (5) – 2(-1) = q ⇒ q = 17
∴ The required values are p = 6, q = 17

a = 12, 2h = 7, b = – 12,
2g = – 1, 2f = 7, k = c
a = 12, h = \(\frac{7}{2}\), b = – 12,
g = \(-\frac{1}{2}\), f = \(\frac{7}{2}\), c = k
The condition for a second degree equation in x and y to represent a pair of straight lines is
abc + 2fgh – af 2 – bg 2 – ch 2 = 0

Compare this equation with the equation
ax 2 + 2hxy + by 2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 ………. (2)
a = 12, 2h = 2k, b = 2,
2g = 11, 2f = – 5, c = 2,
a =12, h = k, b = 2,
g = \(\frac{11}{2}\), f = –\(\frac{5}{2}\), c = 2,
The condition for a second degree equation in x and y to represent a pair of straight lines is
abc + 2fgh – af 2 – bg 2 – ch 2 = 0
96 – 55k – 150 – 121 – 4k 2 = o
– 4k 2 – 55k – 175 = 0

Q.63.4.14Show that the equation 9x 2 – 24xy + 16y 2 – 12x + 16y – 12 = 0 represents a pair of parallel lines. Find the distance between them.v
Answer:

The given equation of the pair of straight line is
9x 2 – 24xy + by 2 – 12x + 16y – 12 = 0 ………… (1)
9x 2 – 24xy + 16y 2 = 9x 2 – 12xy – 12xy + 16y 2
= 3x (3x – 4y) – 4y (3x – 4y)
= (3x – 4y) (3x – 4y)
Let the separate equation of the straight lines be
3x – 4y + 1 = 0 and 3x – 4y + m = 0
9x 2 – 24xy + 16y 2 – 12x + 16y – 12
= (3x – 4y + l) ( 3x – 4y + m )
Comparing the coefficients of x, y and constant terms on both sides
3l + 3m = – 12
l + m = – 4 ……….. (2)
– 4l – 4m = 16
l + m = – 4 ………… (3)
lm = – 12 ……….. (4)
(l – m) 2 = (l + m) 2 – 4lm
= (- 4) 2 – 4 × – 12
= 16 + 48 = 64
l – m = √64 = 8
l – m = 8 ………… (5)
Solving equations (2) and (5 ), we have
(2) ⇒ 2 + m = – 4 ⇒ m = – 6
∴ l = 2 and m = – 6
∴ The separate equation of the straight lines are
3x – 4y – 6 = 0 and 3x – 4y + 2 = 0

4x 2 + 4xy + y 2 – 6x – 3y – 4 = 0 ………. (1)
4x 2 + 4xy + y 2 = (2x + y) 2
Let the separate equation of the lines be
2x + y + l = 0 ……….. (2)
2x + y + m = 0 ………. (3)
4x 2 + 4xy + y 2 – 6x – 3y – 4 = (2x + y + l) (2x + y + m)
Comparing the coefficients of x, y and constant terms on both sides we have
2l + 2m = – 6
l + m = – 3 ……… (4)
l + m = – 3 ……… (5)
l m = – 4 ……… (6)
(l – m) 2 = (l + m) 2 – 4lm
(l – m ) 2 = (- 3) 2 – 4 × – 4
(l – m) 2 = 9 + 16 = 25
l – m = 5 ………… (7)
Solving equations (4) and (7)
(4) ⇒ l + m = – 3 ⇒ m = – 4
∴ The separate equation of the straight lines are
2x + y + 1 =0 and 2x + y – 4 = 0
The distance between the parallel lines is
d = \(\frac{5}{\sqrt{5}}\) = \(\sqrt{5}\)

Answer:

The equations of the given pair of straight lines are
x 2 – 2kxy – y 2 = 0 ………… (1)
x 2 – 2lxy – y 2 = 0 ………… (2)
Given that the pair x 2 – 2kxy – y 2 = 0 bisects the angle between the pair x 2 – 2lxy – y 2 = 0
∴ The equation of the bisector of the pair
x 2 – 2lxy – y 2 = 0 is the pair x 2 – 2kxy – y 2 = 0
The equation of the bisector of x 2 – 2lxy – y 2 = 0 is
Equation (3) and Equation (1) represents the same straight lines. ∴ The coefficients are proportional.
To show that the pair x 2 – 2lxy – y 2 = 0 bisects the angle between the pair x 2 – 2kxy – y 2 = 0, it is enough to prove the equation of the bisector of x 2 – 2kxy – y 2 = 0 is x 2 – 2lxy – y 2 = 0
The equation of the bisector of x 2 – 2kxy – y 2 = 0 is
x 2 – y 2 = 2lxy.
x 2 – 2lxy – y 2 = 0
∴ The pair x 2 – 2lxy – y 2 = 0 bisects the angle between the pair x 2 – 2kxy – y 2 = 0

(i.e) (3x 2 + 5xy – 3y 2 ) + (2x + 3y)(3x – 2y) = 0
3x 2 + 5xy – 3y 2 + bx 2 – 4xy + 9xy – 6y 2 = 0
9x 2 + 10xy – 9y 2 = 0
Coefficient of x 2 + coefficient of y 2 = 9 – 9 = 0

Answer:

(2) (4, 1)
Explaination:
Let P (h, k) be a point on the line
2x – 3y – 5 = 0
Then 2h – 3k – 5 = 0 ……….. (1)
Let A (1, 2) and B ( 3, 4) be the given points such that PA = PB
Squaring on both sides
(h – 1) 2 + (k – 2) 2 = (h – 3) 2 + (k – 4) 2
h 2 – 2h + 1 + k 2 – 4k + 4 = h 2 – 6h + 9 + k 2 – 8k + 16
-2h + 1 – 4k + 4 = – 6h + 9 – 8k + 16
-2h – 4k + 5 = – 6h – 8k + 25
6h – 2h + 8k – 4k + 5 – 25 = 0
4h + 4k – 20 = 0
h + k – 5 = 0 …………. (2)
To find P (h, k), Solve (1) and (2)
(2) ⇒ h + 1 – 5 = 0
h – 4 = 0 ⇒ h = 4
∴ The required point p(h, k) is (4, 1)

The equation of the given line is
2x – 3y + 1 = 0 …………. (1)
The equation of any line perpendicular to (1) is
-3x – 2y + k = 0
3x + 2y – k = 0 ………… (2)
This line passes through the point (1, 3)
∴ (2) ⇒ 3 × 1 + 2 × 3 – k = 0
3 + 6 – k = 0 ⇒ k = 9
∴ (2) ⇒ 3x + 2y – 9 = 0 ………. (3)
2y = – 3x + 9
y = \(-\frac{3}{2} x+\frac{9}{2}\)
∴ The required y – intercept is \(\frac{9}{2}\)

Q.86.5.19If the two straight lines x + (2k – 7)y + 3 = 0 and 3kx + 9y – 5 = 0 are perpendicular, then the value of k is (1) k = 3 (2) k = \(\frac{1}{3}\) (3) k = \(\frac{2}{3}\) (4) k = \(\frac{3}{2}\)v

Slope of line (1), m 1 = \(-\frac{1}{2 k-7}\)
Slope of line (2), m 2 = \(-\frac{3 \mathbf{k}}{9}\)
Given that lines (1) and (2) are perpendicular
∴ m 1 m 2 = -1
k = -3(2k – 7)
k = -6k + 21
6k + k = 21
⇒ 7k = 21
k = \(\frac{21}{7}\) = 3

Q.87.5.20If a vertex of a square is at the origin and it’s one side lies along the line 4x + 3y – 20 = 0 then the area of the square is (1) 20 sq. units (2) 16 sq. units (3) 25 sq. units (4) 4 sq. unitsv

Let m 1, m 2 be slopes of the individual lines.
Given that the individual lines make angles α and β with x – axis.
∴ m 1 = tan α and m 2 = tan β
we have m 1 m 2 = \(\frac{a}{b}\) = \(\frac{6}{-7}\)
∴ tan α tan β = \(-\frac{6}{7}\)

Q.89.5.22The area of the triangle formed by the lines x 2 – 4y 2 = 0 and x = a is (1) 2a 2 (2) \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) (3) \(\frac{1}{2}\) (4) \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)v
Answer:

(3) \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Explaination:
The equation of the given pair of straight lines is
x 2 – 4y 2 = 0
x 2 – 4y 2 = (x + 2y) (x – 2y)
∴ The separate equations of the straight lines are
x + 2y = 0 ………… (1)
x – 2y = 0 …………. (2)
The line x = a intersect the line (1) at A.
a + 2y = 0 ⇒ y = \(-\frac{a}{2}\)
∴ A is \(\left(a,-\frac{a}{2}\right)\)
The line x = a intersect the line (2) at B.

Q.90.5.23If one of the lines given by 6x 2 – xy – 4cy 2 = 0 is 3x + 4y = 0,then c equals to (1) -3 (2) -1 (3) 3 (4) 1v
Answer:

(1) -3
Explaination:
The given pair of straight lines is 6x 2 – xy – 4cy 2 = 0 ………. (1)
One of the separate equation is 3x + 4y = 0 ……… (2)
Let the separate equation of the other line be ax + by = 0 ………. (3)
∴ (ax + by) (3x + 4y) = 6x 2 – xy + 4cy 2
3ax 2 + 4axy + 3bxy + 4by 2 = 6x 2 – xy + 4cy 2
Equating the coefficient of y 2 on both sides
4b = 4c ⇒ c = b
Equating the coefficient of x 2 on both sides
3a = 6
⇒ a = \(\frac{6}{3}\) = 2
Equating the coefficient of xy both sides
4a + 3b = -1
4 × 2 + 3b = -1 ⇒ 3b = -1 – 8
b = \(-\frac{9}{3}\) = -3
∴ c = -3
