Plus One Maths Straight Lines Three Mark Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Find the equation of the line passing through the point (2, 2) and cutting off intercepts on the axis whose sum is 9.
Answer:
Let equation of the line is \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}\) = 1 ______(1)
Given a + b = 9
Since (1) passes through (2, 2) we have;
\(\frac{2}{b}+\frac{2}{b}\) = 1 ⇒ 2a + 2b – ab ⇒ 2 (a + b) = ab
⇒ 18 = ab. Then the numbers are 3 and 6.
Hence the equation of the line is
\(\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{6}\) = 1 ⇒ 6x + 3y = 18 ⇒ 2x + y = 6

OR

\(\frac{x}{6}+\frac{y}{3}\) = 1 ⇒ 3x + 6y = 18 ⇒ x + 2y = 6.

Question 2.
The perpendicular from the origin to a line meets it at the point (-2, 9), find the equation of the line.
Answer:
Slope of the line through the origin and (-2, 9)

Then the slope of the required line is \(\frac{2}{9}\).
Hence the equation is y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)
⇒ y – 9 = \(\frac{2}{9}\)(x – (-2))
⇒ 9y – 81 = 2x + 4 ⇒ 2x – 9x + 85 = 0.

Answer:
1. The given equation can be written in the form \(\sqrt{3}\)x + y = 8
Divide the above equation by

we get;

which is the normal form. On comparing with
x cos θ + y sin θ = p
Where; cosθ = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\); sinθ = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and p = 4.

2. The given equation can be written in the form 3x + 3y = 1
Divide the above equation by

we get;

which is the normal form. On comparing with x cosθ + y sinθ = p
Where; cosθ = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\); sinθ = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) and p = \(\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{2}}\).

Question 4.
Find the angle between the given lines. (3 score each)

1. y – \(\sqrt{3}\)x – 5 = 0 and \(\sqrt{3}\)y – x + 6 = 0
2. 3x – 2y + 9 = 0 and 2x + y – 9 = 0

Answer:
1. Given; y – \(\sqrt{3}\)x – 5 = 0 and \(\sqrt{3}\)y – x + 6 = 0

⇒ θ = 30°.

2. Given; 3x – 2y + 9 = 0 and 2x + y – 9 = 0
⇒ 2y = 3x + 9 and y = -2x + 9

Question 5.
Find the transformed equation of the straight line 2x – 3y + 5 = 0, when the origin is shifted to the point (3, -1) after translation of axes.
Answer:
Let coordinates of a point P changes from (x, y) to (X, Y) in new coordinate axes whose origin has the coordinates h = 3, k = -1. Therefore, we can write the transformation formulae as x = X + 3 and y = y – 1.

Substituting, these values in the given equation of the straight line, we get 2(X + 3) – 3 (Y – 1) + 5 = 0 or 2X – 3Y + 14 = 0. Therefore, the equation of the straight line in new system is 2x – 3y + 14 = 0.

Question 6.
Find what the following equations become when the origin is shifted to the point (1, 1) x² + xy – 3y² – y + 2 = 0.
Answer:
We can write the transformation formulae as x = X + 1 and y = Y+ 1.
The new equation is
(X + 1)² + (X + 1)(Y + 1) – 3(Y + 1)² – (Y + 1) + 2 = 0
X² + XY – 3Y² + 3X – 6Y + 1 = 0
Therefore, the equation of the straight line in new system is x² + xy – 3y² + 3x – 6y + 1 = 0.

Question 2.
Find a point on the x-axis, which is equidistant from the points (7, 6) and (3, 4).
Answer:
Let (x, 0) be the points on the x-axis. Then the distance will be same;
(x – 3)² + 16 = (x – 7)² + 36
⇒ x² – 6x + 9 + 16 = x² – 14x + 49 + 36
⇒ 14x – 6x = 49 + 36 – 9 – 16
⇒ 8x = 60 ⇒ x = \(\frac{15}{2}\)
Hence the point is (\(\frac{15}{2}\), 0).

⇒ y – 3 = -4x – 8 ⇒ 4x + y + 5 = 0.

2. Equation of the line is y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)
⇒ y – 3 = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(x – (-4))
⇒ 2y – 6 = x + 4 ⇒ x – 2y + 10 = 0.

Answer:
Slope of the line through the points (2, 5) and (-3, 6)

Then the slope of the required line is 5. Hence the equation is y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)
⇒ y – 5 = 5(x – (-3)
⇒ y – 5 = 5x + 15 ⇒ 5x – y + 20 = 0.

Question 7.
Find the equation of the line that cut off equal intercepts on the coordinate axis and passes through the point (2, 3).
Answer:
Let the equal intercept is ‘a’, then equation of the required line is \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{a}=1\)
Since this line passes through the point (2, 3),
we have; \(\frac{2}{a}+\frac{3}{a}=1\) ⇒ \(\frac{5}{a}\) = 1 ⇒ a = 5
Therefore the equation of the line is \(\frac{x}{5}+\frac{y}{5}=1\)
⇒ x + y = 5.

Question 8.

Question 12.
Find the equation of the line parallel to the line 3x – 4y + 2 = Oand passing through the point (-2, 3).
Answer:
The equation of the line parallel to the line 3x – 4y + 2 = 0 is of the form 3x – 4y + k = 0.
Since it passes through (-2, 3), we have;
3(-2) – 4(3) + k = 0 ⇒ -6 – 12 + k = 0
⇒ -18 + k = 0 ⇒ k = 18
Hence the equation is 3x – 4y + 18 = 0.

Question 13.
Find the equation of the line x – 7y + 5 = 0 perpendicular to the line and having x-intercept 3.
Answer:
The equation of the perpendicular line will be 7x + y + k = 0.
Since x-intercept is 3, the line passes through the point (3, 0). So we have;
7(3) + 0 + k = 0 ⇒ 21 + 0 + k = 0 ⇒ k = -21
Therefore the equation is 7x + y – 21 = 0.

Question 14.
Find the new coordinates of point (3, -4) if the origin is shifted to (1, 2) by a translation.
Answer:
The coordinates of the new origin are h = 1, k = 2, and the original coordinates are given to be
x = 3, y = -4
X = x – h; Y = y – k
Substituting the values, we have
X = 3 – 1 = 2 and Y = -4 – 2 = -6
Hence, the coordinates of the point (3, -4) in the new system are (2, – 6).
