Answer - 3 : -

Given:

The equations, 2x тАУ 7y+ 11 = 0 and x + 3y тАУ 8 = 0

The equation of thestraight line passing through the points of intersection of 2x┬атИТ┬а7y +11 = 0 and x + 3y┬атИТ┬а8 = 0 is given below:

2x┬атИТ┬а7y + 11+┬а╬╗(x + 3y┬атИТ┬а8) = 0

(2 +┬а╬╗)x +(тИТ┬а7 + 3╬╗)y + 11┬атИТ┬а8╬╗┬а= 0

(i)┬аThe requiredline is parallel to the x-axis. So, the coefficient of x should be zero.

2 +┬а╬╗┬а= 0

╬╗┬а= -2

Now, substitute thevalue of ╬╗ back in equation, we get

0 +(тИТ┬а7┬атИТ┬а6)y + 11 + 16 = 0

13y┬атИТ┬а27 = 0

тИ┤ The equation of therequired line is 13y┬атИТ┬а27 = 0

(ii)┬аThe requiredline is parallel to the y-axis. So, the coefficient of y should be zero.

-7 + 3╬╗┬а= 0

╬╗ = 7/3

Now, substitute thevalue of ╬╗ back in equation, we get

(2 + 7/3)x + 0 + 11 тАУ8(7/3) = 0

13x тАУ 23 = 0

тИ┤ The equation of therequired line is 13x тАУ 23 = 0

Question - 4 : - Find the equation of the straight line passing through the point of intersection of 2x + 3y + 1 = 0 and 3x тАУ 5y тАУ 5 = 0 and equally inclined to the axes.

Answer - 4 : -

Given:

The equations, 2x + 3y+ 1 = 0 and 3x тАУ 5y тАУ 5 = 0

The equation of thestraight line passing through the points of intersection of 2x + 3y + 1 = 0 and3x┬атИТ┬а5y┬атИТ┬а5 = 0 is

2x + 3y + 1+┬а╬╗(3x┬атИТ┬а5y┬атИТ┬а5) = 0

(2 + 3╬╗)x +(3┬атИТ┬а5╬╗)y + 1┬атИТ┬а5╬╗┬а= 0

y = тАУ [(2 + 3╬╗) / (3 тАУ5╬╗)] тАУ [(1 тАУ 5╬╗) / (3 тАУ 5╬╗)]

The required line isequally inclined to the axes. So, the slope of the required line is either 1or┬атИТ┬а1.

So,

тАУ [(2 + 3╬╗) / (3 тАУ5╬╗)] = 1 and тАУ [(2 + 3╬╗) / (3 тАУ 5╬╗)] = -1

-2 тАУ 3╬╗┬а= 3 тАУ5╬╗┬аand 2 + 3╬╗┬а= 3 тАУ 5╬╗

╬╗ = 5/2 and 1/8

Now, substitute thevalues of┬а╬╗┬аin (2 + 3╬╗)x + (3┬атИТ┬а5╬╗)y +1┬атИТ┬а5╬╗┬а= 0, we get the equations of the required lines as:

(2 + 15/2)x + (3 тАУ25/2)y + 1 тАУ 25/2 = 0 and (2 + 3/8)x + (3 тАУ 5/8)y + 1 тАУ 5/8 = 0

19x тАУ 19y тАУ 23 = 0 and19x + 19y + 3 = 0

тИ┤ The required equationis 19x тАУ 19y тАУ 23 = 0 and 19x + 19y + 3 = 0

Question - 5 : - Find the equation of the straight line drawn through the point of intersection of the lines x + y = 4 and 2x тАУ 3y = 1 and perpendicular to the line cutting off intercepts 5, 6 on the axes.

Answer - 5 : -

Given:

The lines x + y = 4and 2x тАУ 3y = 1

The equation of thestraight line passing through the point of intersection of x + y = 4 and2x┬атИТ┬а3y = 1 is

x + y┬атИТ┬а4+┬а╬╗(2x┬атИТ┬а3y┬атИТ┬а1) = 0

(1 + 2╬╗)x +(1┬атИТ┬а3╬╗)y┬атИТ┬а4┬атИТ┬а╬╗┬а= 0 тАж (1)

y = тАУ [(1 + 2╬╗) / (1 тАУ3╬╗)]x + [(4 + ╬╗) / (1 тАУ 3╬╗)]

The equation of theline with intercepts 5 and 6 on the axis is

x/5 + y/6 = 1 тАж. (2)

So, the slope of thisline is -6/5

The lines (1) and (2)are perpendicular.

тИ┤ -6/5 ├Ч [(-1+2╬╗) / (1тАУ 3╬╗)] = -1

╬╗ = 11/3

Now, substitute thevalues of┬а╬╗┬аin (1), we get the equation of the required line.

(1 + 2(11/3))x +(1┬атАУ┬а3(11/3))y┬атИТ┬а4┬атАУ┬а11/3┬а= 0

(1 + 22/3)x + (1 тАУ11)y тАУ 4 тАУ 11/3 = 0

25x тАУ 30y тАУ 23 = 0

тИ┤ The required equationis 25x тАУ 30y тАУ 23 = 0
