 ncert cbse chapter 10  straight lines exercise 10.2

 12. Find the equation of a line that cuts off equal intercepts on the coordinate axes and passes through the point (2, 3).

 

Let the equation of the line be {x/a}  +{y/b} = 1

given intercepts are equal

put b = a

equation changes to {x/a}  +{y/a} = 1

so 

x + y = a --------------(1) 

(1) passes through (2,3)

so 2 + 3 = a

or a = 5

substitute back in (1)

equation changes to x + y = 5

 

11.A line perpendicular to the line segment joining the points (1, 0) and (2, 3) divides it in the ratio 1: n. Find the equation of the line. 

slope of the line joining (1, 0) and (2, 3) is

m1 = [3-0]/[2-1] = 3

using the condition for perpendicular lines

m1 * m2 = (-1)

3 * m2 = (-1)

m2 = (-1) / 3 is the slope of the required line

using section formula  the point which divides the line joining  (1, 0) and (2, 3)  in the ratio 1: n is given by

(  [(n+2) / (n+1)] , [(0 + 3) / (n+1)] ) = (  [(n+2) / (n+1)] , [(3) / (n+1)] )

required line passes through (  [(n+2) / (n+1)] , [(3) / (n+1)] ) 

with slope m2 = (-1) / 3 

 

using point slope form

equation  is 

[y - [(3) / (n+1)] ] = [(-1) / 3 ] *[x - [(n+2) / (n+1)] ]

3[n+1]y - 9 = -(n+1)x +(n+2)

or 

(n+1)x + 3[n+1]y = n+11

13. Find the equation of the right bisector of the line segment joining the points (3, 4) and (–1, 2).

 ncert cbse chapter 10 exercise 10.3

 13. Find the equation of the right bisector of the line segment joining the points

 (3, 4) and (–1, 2).

Using midpoint formula

midpoint of the line segment joining  (3, 4) and (–1, 2) is

[(3+(-1))/ 2  , (4+2)/2] = (1,3)

 

slope of the given line segment is   [2-4]/ [ (-1) -3] = (-2)/(-4) =1/2

 using condition for perpendicular lines m1*m2 = (-1)

so slope of the right bisector is (-2)

right bisector passes throught (1,3) with slope [-2]

using point slope form

y-y1 = m [x-x1]

equation of right bisector is

y-3 = [-2] [x-1]

y-3  = -2x +2

2x+y-5 =0

or 2x +y = 5

 

8. Find equation of the line perpendicular to the line x – 7y + 5 = 0 and having
x intercept 3.

 

using slope of ax+by+x = 0 is given by m = (-a) / b

slope of x – 7y + 5 = 0 is  m1 = (-1) / (-7) = 1/7

using condition of perpendicular lines m1 * m2 = -1

slope of the required line is m2 = (-7)

x intercept 3 means that the line passes through (3,0)

so required line passes through (3,0) with slope (-7)

using point slope form

y - y1 = m [x-x1]

y -0 = (-7)[x -3]

y = -7x +21

7x+y = 21

 17. In the triangle ABC with vertices A (2, 3), B (4, –1) and C (1, 2), find the equation and length of altitude from the vertex A.

 

B (4, –1) and C (1, 2)

using two point form equation of BC is 

{(y-(-1)) / [2-(-1)]} = {(x-4) / (1-4)} 

[y+1] / 3 = [x-4] / (-3)

y+1 = -x+4

x+y-3 = 0--------------(1)

 

line perpendicular to ax+by+c=0 is of the form bx-ay+k=0

 

altitude through A is perpendicular to BC

so the form of the altitude is

x-y+k=0--------------------(2)

This passes through A(2,3)

so 

2-3+k =0

k = 1

so required altitude through A is

x - y +1 =0 using k = 1 in (2)

solving  equation of altitude with that of BC (1)

 

x -  y = (-1)

x + y = 3

solving 

2x = 2

x = 1

resubstitute

y =2

point of intersection is P(1,2)

A is (2,3)

 

using distance formula

length of the altitude is

sqrt[ {(2-1)^2} + {(3-2)^2}] 

=sqrt[2]

we can also use perpendicular distance formula to find the distance between

 A(2,3)  and the line BC { x + y = 3 } for finding the length of the altitude.

14. Find the coordinates of the foot of perpendicular from the point (–1, 3) to the
line 3x – 4y – 16 = 0.

Given line is 3x – 4y – 16 = 0

line perpendicular to ax+by+c=0 is of the form bx-ay+k=0

line perpendicular to given line is

-4x-3y+k = 0

This passes through  (–1, 3) if

-4(-1) - 3(3) + k =0

k =5

so perpendicular line is

-4x-3y+5 = 0

or 4x + 3y  = 5

given equation is

3x - 4y = 16

solving

[4x + 3y  = 5  ] *3

[3x - 4y = 16  ]  *4

 

12x+9y =15

12x-16y=64

 

subtracting

25y =(-49) 

y = [(-49) / 25]

resubstitute and solve for x

3x -4 [(-49) / 25] = 16

3x =16 -[196/25]

3x =204/25

x =68/25

 

foot of the perpendicular is [(68/25) , (-49/25)]

2. Find the values of θ and p, if the equation x cos θ + y sin θ = p is the normal form of the line 3 x + y + 2 = 0.

 2. Find the values of θ and p, if the equation x cos θ + y sin θ = p is the normal form of the line [sqrt(3)] x + y + 2 = 0.

[sqrt(3)] x + y + 2 = 0

[sqrt(3)] x + y = (-2)  --------------(1)

we require the RHS to be no negative.

so multiply by (-1)

-[sqrt(3)]x +(-1)y = 2

a = { -[sqrt(3)] } , b = (-1)

sqrt [(a^2) +(b^2)] = sqrt[3+1]  =sqrt[4] = 2

so divide each term in (1) with 2

 [ - {sqrt(3)} /2 ]x +(-1/2)y =1

use x cos θ + y sin θ = p 

to get 

cos θ =[ - {sqrt(3)} /2 ]

 sin θ = (-1/2)

so  θ is in the third quadrant

θ = pi + ( pi /6 ) =[7 pi/6]

using RHS

p =1

(c) Passing through the origin.

slope of the given line is 

m = [k-3] / [ 4 –( k^ 2)  ]

(a)

When parallel to x axis

slope = 0

hence [k-3] / [ 4 –( k^ 2)  ] = 0

k-3 = 0

k = 3

(b) Parallel to the y-axis,

 

When parallel to y axis

slope = infinity

hence [k-3] / [ 4 –( k^ 2)  ] = infinity

hence  

[ 4 –( k^ 2)  ] = 0

( k^ 2) = 4

k = 2 or (-2)

 

(c) Passing through the origin.

when line passes through the origin (0,0) 

the (k–3) x – (4 –( k^ 2) ) y + (k^2) –7k + 6 = 0 is satisfied by (0,0)

 0 - 0 + (k^2) –7k + 6 = 0

(k^2) –7k + 6 = 0

[k-6][k-1]  = 0

 ncert cbse chapter 10 straight lines miscellaneous exercise

3. Find the equations of the lines, which cut-off intercepts on the axes whose sum
and product are 1 and – 6, respectively.

let the intercepts be a and b 

 

given a+b =1 therefore b = (1-a)

given ab = (-6)  use b = (1-a)

a(1-a) = (-6)

a - (a^2) = (-6)

(a^2) - a -6 =0

(a-3)(a+2) = 0

a =3 ; a =(-2)

If a =3, b = 1-a = 1-3 = (-2)

If a =(-2) , b = 1 -a = 1 - (-2) =3

If a = 3 , b =(-2), equation of line is [x/2] + [y/b] =1

[x/3] + [y/(-2)] = 1

2x -3y =6

 

If a = (-2) , b =3 , equation of line is [x/2] + [y/b] =1

[x/(-2)] + [y/3] = 1

-3x+2y =6 or 3x-2y+6=0 

4. What are the points on the y-axis whose distance from the line
[x/3] + [y/4]=1 is 4 units.

let the point on the y axis be (0,k)

Given equation is [x/3] + [y/4]=1

re arrange

  4x+3y-12 =0

use formula for perpendicular distance  

for (0,k) to the line 4x+3y-12 =0

distance =|4(0)+3(k)-12|  / sqrt[(4^2)+(3^2)]

= |3(k)-12|  / 5

use given distance

4 =  |3(k)-12|  / 5

 |3(k)-12|  = 20

changing absolute value

3(k)-12 = 20  or 3(k)-12 = (-20)

we get

3k = 32  or 3k = -8

k = 32/3  or k =(-8/3)

required point is

(0 , 32/3) or (0, (-8/3) )

14. In what ratio, the line joining (–1, 1) and (5, 7) is divided by the line x + y = 4?

  ncert cbse chapter 10 straight lines miscellaneous exercise

 

14. In what ratio, the line joining (–1, 1) and (5, 7) is divided by the 

line x + y = 4 ?

 

 Let the ratio be k:1

using section formula,

required point is [ { (5k-1)/(k+1) } , {(7k+1) / (k+1)} ]

This point lies on x + y = 4

therefore

 (5k-1)/(k+1) } + {(7k+1) / (k+1)} =4

12k /(k+1)  = 4

12k  = 4(k+1)

12k =4k+4

8k = 4

k = (4/8)

k=(1/2)

Ratio is 1 : 2

6. Find the equation of the line parallel to y-axis and drawn through the point of
intersection of the lines x – 7y + 5 = 0 and 3x + y = 0.

solving

{x-7y = (-5)}*3

3x+y =0

 

3x-21y=(-15)

3x+y = 0

 

subtracting

-22y = -15 

y = (15/22)

substitute in 3x+y=0

3x +(15/22) = 0

3x = (-15/22)

x =(-5/22)

 point of intersection is [ (-5/22) ,(15/22) ] 

required line is parallel to y axis and passes through [ (-5/22) ,(15/22) ] 

required equation is x = (-5/22)

or 22x+5 =0
