The line which is inclined at an angle of 60° with the positive direction of y-axis makes an angle of 30° with x-axis.
Clearly, the slope of the required line is m=tan30∘=13
So, the equation of the required line having slope 13 and passes through the point P3, -2 is
y+2=13x-3⇒x-3y-3-23=0
Hence, the equation of the required line is x-3y-3-23=0
Q8.
Answer :
Let θ be the inclination of the line with the positive x-axis.
Then, we have,
sinθ=35⇒tanθ=sinθ1-sin2θ=351-3252352-32=34
So, the equation of the line that passes through (1, 2) and has slope 34 is
y-2=34x-1⇒3x-4y+5=0
Hence, the equation of the required line is 3x-4y+5=0
Q9.
Answer :
The given points are A 2, 5 and B -3, 6.
∴ Slope of AB =6-5-3-2=-15
Let m be the slope of the required line. Then,
m×Slope of AB=-1⇒m×-15=-1⇒m=5
So, the equation of the line that passes through (−3, 5) and has slope 5 is
y-5=5x+3⇒5x-y+20=0
Hence, the equation of the required line is 5x-y+20=0
Q10.
Answer :
The given points are A (1, 0) and B (2, 3).
Let M be the midpoint of AB.
∴ Coordinates of M=1+22, 0+32=32, 32
And, slope of AB = 3-02-1=3
Let m be the slope of the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the points A (1, 0) and B (2, 3).
∴ m×Slope of AB=-1⇒m×3=-1⇒m=-13
So, the equation of the line that passes through M 32, 32 and has slope -13 is
y-32=-13x-32⇒x+3y-6=0
Hence, the equation of the right bisector of the line segment joining the points A (1, 0) and B (2, 3) is x+3y-6=0.
Q11.
Answer :
The inclinations of the two lines with the positive x-axis are π3 and 2π3.
So, their slopes are m1=tanπ3=3 and m2=tan2π3=-tanπ3=-3.
Now, the equations of the lines that pass through (0, 2) and have slopes m1 and m2 are
y-2=3x-0 and y-2=-3x-0⇒y-3x-2=0 and y+3x-2=0or 3x-y+2=0 and 3x+y-2=0
Now, the equation of the line parallel to the line having slope m1 and intercept c = -2 is
y=m1x+c⇒y=3x-2⇒3x-y-2=0
Similarly, the equation of line parallel to the line having slope m2 and intercept c = -2 is
y=m2x+c⇒y=-3x-2⇒3x+y+2=0
Q12.
Answer :
It is given that the lines are equally inclined to the axes.
So, their inclinations with the positive x-axis are 45∘ and 135∘.
Let m1 and m2 be the slopes of the lines.
∴ m1=tan45∘=1 and m2=tan135∘=-tan45∘=-1
Thus, the equations of the lines passing through (0, 5) with slopes 1 and -1 are
y-5=1x-0 and y-5=-1x-0⇒y-x-5= and y+x-5=0⇒y=x+5 and x+y=5
Q13.
Answer :
The required line is shown in the following figure.
The line which is inclined at an angle of 135° with the positive direction of y-axis makes an angle of 45° with x-axis.
Here, m=tan45∘=1
Thus, the equation of the required line passing through (2, 0) with slope 1 is
y-0=1x-2 ⇒x-y-2=0
Q14.
Answer :
The equation of the line passing through (x1, y1) with slope m is given by
y-y1=mx-x1
So, the equation of the line passing through (0, 0) with slope m is
y-0=mx-0 ⇒y=mx
Q15.
Answer :
Here, m=tan75∘⇒m=tan45∘+30∘⇒m=tan45∘+tan30∘1-tan45∘tan30∘⇒m=1+131-13=3+13-1⇒m=3+13-1×3+13+1=2+3
So, the equation of the line that passes through (2, 23) and has slope 2+3 is
y-23=2+3x-2⇒y-23=2+3x-4-23⇒2+3x-y-4=0

(v) (at1, a/t1) and (at2, a/t2)
Here, x1, y1≡at1, at1 x2, y2≡at2, at2
So, the equation of the line passing through the two points is
y-y1=y2-y1x2-x1x-x1⇒y-at1=at2-at1at2-at1x-at1⇒y-at1=-1t2t1x-at1⇒x+t1t2y=at1+t2
(vi) (acos α, asin α) and (acos β, asin β)

∴ m1=-3-42-1, m2=-2+3-1-2 and m3=4+21+1⇒m1=-7, m2=-13 and m3=3
So, the equations of the sides AB, BC and CA are
y-4=-7x-1, y+3=-13x-2 and y+2=3x+1⇒7x+y=11, x+3y+7=0 and 3x-y+1=0
(ii) Let the given points be A (0, 1), B (2, 0) and C (−1, −2).
Let m1, m2 and m3 be the slopes of the sides AB, BC and CA, respectively.
∴ m1=0-12-0, m2=-2-0-1-2 and m3=1+20+1⇒m1=-12, m2=23 and m3=3
So, the equations of the sides AB, BC and CA are
y-1=-12x-0, y-0=23x-2 and y+2=3x+1⇒x+2y=2, 2x-3y=4 and 3x-y+1=0

So, its equation is
y-6=-172-61+1x+1⇒4y-24=-29x-29⇒29x+4y+5=0
Median BE passes through B -3, -9 and E 2, -1.

The diagonal passing through A a, b and C a’, b’ is
y-b=b’-ba’-ax-a⇒a’-ay-ba’-a=b’-bx-ab’-b⇒a’-ay-b’-bx=-ab’-b+ba’-a⇒a’-ay-b’-bx=ba’-ab’
And, the diagonal passing through B a’, b and D a, b’ is
y-b=b’-ba-a’x-a’⇒a-a’y-ba-a’=b’-bx-a’b’-b⇒a-a’y-b’-bx=-a’b’-b+ba-a’⇒a’-ay+b’-bx=a’b’-ab

The vertices of triangle ABC are A (4, 3), B (0, 0) and C (2, 3).
Let us find the lengths of sides AB and AC.
AB=4-02+3-02=5AC=4-22+3-32=2
We know that the internal bisector AD of angle BAC divides BC in the ratio AB : AC i.e. 5 : 2
∴ D≡2×0+5×25+2, 2×0+5×35+2=107, 157
Thus, the equation of AD is
y-3=3-1574-107x-4⇒y-3=13x-4⇒x-3y+5=0

∴ P≡3+8kk+1, -1+9kk+1
P lies on the line y − x + 2 = 0
∴-1+9kk+1-3+8kk+1+2=0⇒-1+9k-3-8k+2k+2=0⇒3k=2⇒k=23
Hence, the line y − x + 2 = 0 divides the line joining the points (3, −1) and (8, 9) in the ratio 2 : 3
Q8.
Answer :
Let the line 3x + y = 12 intersect the x-axis and the y-axis at A and B, respectively.
At x = 0
0 + y = 12
⇒y = 12
At y = 0
3x + 0 = 12
⇒x = 4
∴ A≡4, 0 and B≡0, 12
Let y=m1x and y=m2x be the lines that pass through the origin and trisect the line 3x + y = 12 at P and Q.
∴ AP = PQ = QB
Let us find the coordinates of P and Q.
P≡2×4+1×02+1, 2×0+1×122+1≡83, 4Q≡1×4+2×02+1, 1×0+2×122+1≡43, 8
Clearly, P and Q lie on y=m1x and y=m2x, respectively.
∴ 4=m1×83 and 8=m2×43⇒m1=32 and m2=6
Hence, the required lines are y=32x ⇒2y=3x and y=6x

∴ P≡4k+2k+1, -5k+3k+1
P lies on the line 10x − 9y + 12 = 0
∴104k+2k+1-9-5k+3k+1+12=0⇒40k+20+45k-27+12k+12=0⇒ 97k+5=0⇒k=-597
Hence, the line joining the points (2, 3) and (4, −5) is divided by the line passing through the points (6, 8) and (−3, −2) in the ratio 5 : 97 externally.

L-124.942=125.134-124.942110-20C-20⇒L-124.942=0.19290C-20⇒L-124.942=0.03215C-20⇒L=0.03215C+124.942-20×0.03215⇒L=0.03215C+124.942-0.04267⇒L=41875C+124.899
Q12.
Answer :
Let x denote the price per litre and y denote the quantity of the milk sold at this price.
Since there is a linear relationship between the price and the quantity, the line representing this relationship passes through (14, 980) and (16, 1220).
So, the equation of the line passing through these points is
y-980=1220-98016-14x-14⇒y-980=120x-14⇒120x-y-700=0
When x = 17 then we have,
120×17-y-700=0⇒y=1340
Hence, the owner of the milk store can sell 1340 litres of milk at Rs 17 per litre.

Let D be the midpoint of BC.
∴ D≡0+22, 1+02≡1, 12

3b+2+2b=1⇒3b+2b+4=b2+2b⇒b2-3b-4=0⇒b-4b+1=0⇒b=4, -1
Now, from equation (1)
For b = 4, a = 4 + 2 = 6

2x + 0 = 6
⇒ x = 3
∴ A≡3, 0 and B≡0, 2
Let y=m1x and y=m2x pass through the origin trisecting the line 2x + 3y = 6 at P and Q.
∴ AP = PQ = QB
Let us find the coordinates of P and Q using the section formula.
P≡2×3+1×02+1, 2×0+1×22+1=2, 23Q≡1×3+2×02+1, 1×0+2×22+1=1, 43
Clearly, P and Q lie on y=m1x and y=m2x, respectively.
∴ 23=m1×2 and 43=m2×1⇒m1=13 and m2=43
Hence, the required lines are
y=13x and y=43x

The equation of the line in intercept form is xa+yb=1.
The line passes through (2, 1).
∴ 2a+1b=1 … (1)
Let the line 3x − 5y = 15 intersect the x-axis and the y-axis at A and B, respectively.
At x = 0 we have,
0 − 5y = 15
⇒ y = −3
At y = 0, we have,
3x − 0 = 15
⇒ x = 5
∴ A≡0, -3 and B≡5, 0
The midpoint of AB is 52,-32.
Clearly, the point 52,-32 lies on the line xa+yb=1.
∴ 52a-32b=1 … (2)
Using 32×eq (1)+eq (2) we get,

Now, the midpoint of AB is -c2a, -c2b.
Clearly, -c2a, -c2b lies on the line y = mx.
∴-c2b=m×-c2a⇒m=ab
Hence, the equation of the required line is
y=abx⇒ax-by=0

So, the equation of the line is x-3cosθ=y-2sinθ
⇒x-345=y-235⇒x-34=y-23⇒3x-9=4y-8⇒3x-4y=1
Hence, the points on the line at a distance of 5 units from A (3, 2) are

Clearly, P lies on the line x + y = 6
∴1+r2+2+3r2=6⇒3r2+r2=3⇒r3+1=6⇒r=63+1=33-1
Q3.
Answer :

Let θ be the slope of the line. So, the equation of the line that has slope θ and passes through A (1, 2) is
x-x1cosθ=y-y1sinθ⇒x-1cosθ=y-2sinθ
The coordinates of P are given by
x-1cosθ=y-2sinθ=r=23⇒x=1+23cosθ, y=2+23sinθ
Thus, the coordinates of P are 1+23cosθ, 2+23sinθ.
Clearly, P lies on the line x + y = 4.
1+23cosθ+ 2+23sinθ=4⇒cosθ+sinθ=32⇒cos2θ+sin2θ+2sinθcosθ=32 Squaring both sides ⇒sin2θ=32-1=12⇒2θ=30∘ or 150∘⇒θ=15∘ or 75∘
Hence, the direction of the lines with the positive direction of the x-axis is 15∘ or 75∘.

So, the equation of the line passing through (2, 3) and making an angle of 45° with the x-axis is
x-x1cosθ=y-y1sinθ⇒x-2cos45∘=y-3sin45∘⇒x-112=y-212⇒x-y+1=0
Let x − y + 1 = 0 intersect the line 2x − 3y + 9 = 0 at point P.
Let AP = r
Then, the coordinates of P are given by
x-2cos45°=y-3sin45°=r
⇒x=2+r2 and y=3+r2
Thus, the coordinates of P are 2+r2, 3+r2.
Clearly, P lies on the line 2x − 3y + 9 = 0.
∴ 22+r2-33+r2+9=0⇒4+2r2-9-3r2+9=0⇒r2=4⇒r=42
Hence, the distance of the point from the given line is 42.

x-x1cosθ=y-y1sinθ⇒x-325=y-515⇒x-2y+7=0
Let x − 2y + 7 = 0 intersect the line 2x + 3y = 14 at point P.
Let AP = r
Then, the coordinates of P are given by
x-325=y-515=r
⇒x=3+2r5 and y=5+r5
Thus, the coordinates of P are 3+2r5, 5+r5.
Clearly, P lies on the line 2x + 3y = 14.
∴ 23+2r5+35+r5=14⇒6+4r5+15+3r5=14⇒7r5=-7⇒r=-5

x-x1cosθ=y-y1sinθ⇒x-245=y-535⇒3x-6=4y-20⇒3x-4y+14=0
Let 3x − 4y + 14 = 0 intersect the line 3x + y + 4 = 0 at point P.
Let AP = r
Then, the coordinates of P are given by
x-245=y-535=r
⇒x=2+4r5 and y=5+3r5
Thus, the coordinates of P are 2+4r5, 5+3r5.
Clearly, P lies on the line 3x + y + 4 =0.
∴ 32+4r5+5+3r5+4=0⇒6+12r5+5+3r5+4=0⇒3r=-15⇒r=-5
Hence, the distance of the point (2, 5) from the line 3x + y + 4 = 0 is 5.

So, the slope of the required line is also 34 as it is parallel to the given line.
∴ tanθ=34⇒sinθ=35 and cosθ=45
Here, x1, y1=A 4, -1
So, the equation of the line passing through A (4, −1) and having slope 34 is
x-x1cosθ=y-y1sinθ⇒x-445=y+135⇒3x-12=4y+4⇒3x-4y-16=0
Here, AP = r = 5
Thus, the coordinates of P are given by
x=x1±rcosθ, y=y1±rsinθ⇒x=4±545, y=-1±535
⇒x=4±4, y=-1±3⇒x=8, y=2 and x=0, y=-4
Hence, the coordinates of the two points at a distance of 5 units from A are (8, 2) and (0, −4).
Q8.
Answer :

Let AB = r
Thus, the coordinates of B are given by
x-2cos45°=y-1sin45°=r
⇒x=2+r2, y=1+r2
Clearly, point B 2+r2, 1+r2 lies on the line x + 2y + 1 = 0.

Q8.
Answer :
Let ABC be a triangle with vertices A x1, y1, B x2, y2 and C x3, y3.
Let D, E and F be the midpoints of the sides BC, CA and AB, respectively.
Thus, the coordinates of D, E and F are D x2+x32, y2+y32, E x1+x32, y1+y32 and F x1+x22, y1+y22.
Let mD, mE and mF be the slopes of AD, BE and CF respectively.
∴ Slope of BC × mD = -1
⇒y3-y2x3-x2×mD=-1⇒mD=-x3-x2y3-y2
Thus, the equation of AD

⇒y-y2+y32=-x3-x2y3-y2x-x2+x32⇒2yy3-y2-y32-y22=-2xx3-x2+x32-x22
⇒2xx3-x2+2yy3-y2-x32-x22-y32-y22=0 … (1)
Similarly, the respective equations of BE and CF are

Now, the lines x + y − 5 = 0 and AB are perpendicular.
∴ Slope of AB × Slope of CD = −1
⇒b-1a-2×-1=-1⇒a-2=b-1
⇒ a-b=1 … (2)
Adding eq (1) and eq (2):
2a=8⇒a=4

x6-y4+λ=0
This line passes through (0, 6).
0-64+λ=0⇒λ=32

y=-1mx
x+my=0 … (2)
Solving eq (1) and eq (2) by cross multiplication, we get
xmc-0=y0-c=1-1-m2⇒x=-mcm2+1, y=cm2+1
Thus, the point of intersection of the perpendicular from the origin to the line y = mx + c is -mcm2+1, cm2+1
It is given that the perpendicular from the origin to the line y = mx + c meets it at the point (-1,2)
-mcm2+1=-1 and cm2+1=2⇒m2+1=mc and m2+1=c2⇒mc=c2⇒m=12
Now, substituting the value of m in m2+1=mc, we get

It is given that the line joining the points A (h,3) and B (4,1) is perpendicular to the line 7x − 9y − 19 = 0.
79×1-34-h=-1⇒9h-36=-14⇒9h=22⇒h=229
Hence, the value of h is 229.
Q20.
Answer :
Let the image of A (3,8) be B (a,b). Also, let M be the midpoint of AB.
∴Coordinates of M=3+a2, 8+b2
Point M lies on the line x + 3y = 7
∴3+a2+3×8+b2=7
⇒a+3b+13=0 … (1)
Lines CD and AB are perpendicular.
∴ Slope of AB × Slope of CD = −1
⇒b-8a-3×-13=-1⇒b-8=3a-9
⇒3a-b-1=0 … (2)
Solving (1) and (2) by cross multiplication, we get:
a-3+13=b39+1=1-1-9⇒a=-1, b=-4
Hence, the image of the point (3, 8) with respect to the line mirror x + 3y = 7 is (−1, −4).

Also, let M (h, k) be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from A (−1, 3) to the line 3x − 4y − 16 = 0
Point M (h, k) lies on the line 3x − 4y − 16 = 0
3h − 4k − 16 = 0 … (1)
Lines 3x − 4y − 16 = 0 and AM are perpendicular.
∴ k-3h+1×34=-1
⇒4h+3k-5=0 … (2)
Solving eq (1) and eq (2) by cross multiplication, we get:
h20+48=k-64+15=19+16⇒a=6825, b=-4925
Hence, the coordinates of the foot of perpendicular are 6825, -4925.

The given line is 2x + 3y = 12, which can be written as
x6+y4=1 … (1)
So, the coordinates of the points A and B are (6, 0) and (0, 4), respectively.
The equation of the line perpendicular to line (1) is
x4-y6+λ=0
This line passes through the point (5, 5).
∴54-56+λ=0⇒λ=-512
Now, substituting the value of λ in x4-y6+λ=0, we get:
x4-y6-512=0⇒x53-y52=1 …(2)
Thus, the coordinates of intersection of line (1) with the x-axis is C 53,0.
To find the coordinates of E, let us write down equations (1) and (2) in the following manner:
2x+3y-12=0 … (3)
3x-2y-5=0 … (4)
Solving (3) and (4) by cross multiplication, we get:
x-15-24=y-36+10=1-4-9⇒x=3, y=2
Thus, the coordinates of E are (3, 2).
From the figure,
EC=53-32+0-22=2133

Let us change equation (1) into normal form.
x1+22+2y1+22=2a1+22×5+2y5=2a5
Thus, the length of the perpendicular from the origin to the line (1) is
p=2a5
Given:

Required equation of the line:
x+2y=±252⇒x+2y±5=0

Let the perpendicular bisectors x − y + 5 = 0 and x + 2y = 0 of the sides AB and AC intersect at D and E, respectively.
Let x1,y1 and x2,y2 be the coordinates of points B and C.
∴Coordinates of D=x1+12, y1-22 and coordinates of E=x2+12, y2-22
Point D lies on the line x − y + 5 = 0
∴x1+12-y1-22+5=0
⇒x1-y1+13=0 … (1)
Point E lies on the line x + 2y = 0
∴x2+12+2×y2-22=0
⇒x2+2y2-3=0 … (2)
Side AB is perpendicular to the line x − y + 5 = 0
∴ 1×y1+2×1-1=-1
⇒x1+y1+1=0 … (3)
Similarly, side AC is perpendicular to the line x + 2y = 0
∴ -12×y2+2×2-1=-1
⇒2×2-y2-4=0 … (4)
Now, solving eq (1) and eq (3) by cross multiplication, we get:
x1-1-13=y113-1=11+1⇒x1=-7, y1=6
Thus, the coordinates of B are -7,6.
Similarly, solving (2) and (4) by cross multiplication, we get:
x2-8-3=y2-6+4=1-1-4⇒x2=115, y2=25
Thus, coordinates of C are 115,25.
Therefore, equation of line BC is
y-6=25-6115+7x+7⇒y-6=-2846x+7⇒14x+23y-40=0

The respective equations of the lines having intercepts 3, 4 and 1, 8 on the axes are
x3+y4=1 … (1)
x1+y8=1 … (2)
Let m1 and m2 be the slope of the lines (1) and (2), respectively.
∴m1=-43, m2=-8
Let θ be the angle between the lines (1) and (2).
∴tan θ=m1-m21+m1m2 =-43+81+323⇒tan θ=47
Hence, the tangent of the angles between the lines is 47.
Q9.
Answer :
Let m1 be the slope of the line joining the points (a, 2a) and (−2, 3)
m1=3-2a-2-a
It is given that the line passing through points (a, 2a) and (−2, 3) is perpendicular to the line 4x + 3y + 5 = 0.
∴ m1×-43=-1⇒3-2a-2-a×-43=-1⇒8a-12=3a+6⇒a=185
Hence, the value of a is 185.

Q1.
Answer :
Let ABC be the triangle of sides AB, BC and CA whose equations are x − 5y + 6 = 0, x − 3y + 2 = 0 and x − 2y − 3 = 0, respectively.
On solving the equations, we get A (9,3), B (4, 2) and C (13, 5) as the coordinates of the vertices.
It is given that point P (α2, α) lies either inside or on the triangle. The three conditions are given below.
(i) A and P must lie on the same side of BC.
(ii) B and P must lie on the same side of AC.
(iii) C and P must lie on the same side of AB.
If A and P lie on the same side of BC, then

⇒α∈(-∞,1]∪[2,∞) … (1)
If B and P lie on the same side of AC, then

⇒α∈-1,3 … (2)
If C and P lie on the same side of AB, then
13-25+6α2-5α+6≥0⇒α-3α-2≤0
⇒α∈2,3 … (3)
From (1), (2) and (3), we get:

Q2.
Answer :
Let ABC be the triangle of sides AB, BC and CA whose equations are x + y − 4 = 0, 3x − 7y − 8 = 0 and 4x − y − 31 = 0, respectively.
On solving them, we get A 7,-3, B 185,25 and C 20925,6125 as the coordinates of the vertices.
Let P (a, 2) be the given point.
It is given that point P (a,2) lies inside the triangle. So, we have the following:
(i) A and P must lie on the same side of BC.
(ii) B and P must lie on the same side of AC.
(iii) C and P must lie on the same side of AB.
Thus, if A and P lie on the same side of BC, then
21+21-83a-14-8>0
⇒a>223 … (1)
If B and P lie on the same side of AC, then
4×185-25-314a-2-31>0
⇒a<334 … (2)
If C and P lie on the same side of AB, then
20925+6125-4a+2-4>0⇒345-4a+2-4>0
⇒a>2 … (3)
From (1), (2) and (3), we get:
a∈223,334
Q3.
Answer :
Let ABC be the triangle of sides AB, BC and CA, whose equations x + y − 4 = 0, 3x − 7y + 8 = 0 and 4x − y − 31 = 0, respectively.
On solving them, we get A7,-3, B (2, 2) and C (9, 5) as the coordinates of the vertices.
Let P (−3, 2) be the given point.
The given point P (−3, 2) will lie inside the triangle ABC, if
(i) A and P lies on the same side of BC
(ii) B and P lies on the same side of AC
(iii) C and P lies on the same side of AB
Thus, if A and P lie on the same side of BC, then
21+21+8-9-14+8>0⇒50×-15>0⇒-750>0, which is false
Therefore, the point (−3, 2) lies outside triangle ABC.

Q1.
Answer :
Comparing ax + by + c = 0 and 3x − 5y + 7 = 0, we get:
a = 3, b = − 5 and c = 7
So, the distance of the point (4, 5) from the straight line 3x − 5y + 7 = 0 is
d=ax1+by1+ca2+b2⇒d=3×4-5×5+732+-52=634
Hence, the required distance is 634
Q2.

The distance of the point (1, 1) from the straight line ax − by + c = 0 is 1
∴ 1=a-b+ca2+b2⇒a2+b2+c2-2ab+2ac-2bc=a2+b2⇒ab+bc-ac=c22
Dividing both the sides by abc, we get:
1c+1a-1b=c2ab

⇒d=asinα+β2sinα+cosα cosα+β2 ⇒d=asinα sinα+β2+cosα cosα+β2 ⇒d=acosα+β2-α =acosβ-α2=acosα-β2
Hence, the required distance is acosα-β2

x33-84=y-63-22=1-8-9⇒x=3, y=5
So, the point of intersection of 2x + 3y = 21 and 3x − 4y + 11 = 0 is (3, 5).
Now, the perpendicular distance d of the line 8x + 6y + 5 = 0 from the point (3, 5) is

So, the point of intersection of 2x − 3y + 14 = 0 and 5x + 4y − 7 = 0 is -3523,8423.
The equation of the line passing through the origin and the point -3523,8423 is
y-0=8423-0-3523-0x-0⇒y=84-35x⇒y=-125x⇒12x+5y=0

So, the equation of the line passing through 295,-25 with slope 5 is
y+25=5x-295⇒5y+2=25x-145⇒25x-5y-147=0
Let d be the perpendicular distance from the point (1, 2) to the line 25x-5y-147=0

Q2.
Answer :
(c) cos-145
Let the coordinates of the right-angled isosceles triangle be O(0, 0), A(a, 0) and B(0, a).
Here, BD and AE are the medians drawn from the acute angles B and A, respectively.
∴ Slope of BD = m1
= 0-aa2-0
= -2
Slope of AE = m2
= a2-00-a
=-12
Let θ be the angle between BD and AE.
tan θ=-2+121+1 =34⇒cos θ=432+42⇒cos θ=45⇒θ=cos-145
Hence, the acute angle between the medians is cos-145.

The discriminant of this equation is 25-4×3×38=-431
Hence, there is no real value of λ for which the lines x − 2y + 3 = 0, λx + 3y + 1 = 0 and 4x − λy + 2 = 0 are concurrent.
Q9.
Answer :
(b) x-3y = 4

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.
∴ Slope of AC=-3
Thus, slope of the altitude through B is 13.
Equation of the required altitude is given below:
y-1=13x+1⇒x-3y+4=0
