Disclaimer:

Answers mentioned here are not solved by teachers. These are the solutions written by a student of Grade 11. Answers are all correct. However, the language or process of solving the questions might be informal and in examinations, you might have to add little more language and show more calculations than what has been done here. So, we highly encourage you to view these solutions as guide rather than just copying everything mentioned here. Few questions have been typed while most of them have been updated as pictures.

1. Find the equation of the straight line through the point (2,3) whose intercept on x-axis is twice that on y-axis.

Solution:

Here,

Passing point (x,y) = (2,3)

To find: equation of straight line under given conditions = ?

Given,

intercept on x-axis (a) is twice that on y-axis (b)

$or, a = 2b$

Put given conditions in double intercept form of equation of straight line, we get,

$or, \dfrac{x}{a} + \dfrac{y}{b} = 1$

$or, \dfrac{2}{2b} + \dfrac{3}{b} = 1$

$or, \dfrac{1}{b} + \dfrac{3}{b} = 1$

$or, 1 + 3 = b \implies b = 4$

So, $ a= 2*4 = 8$

Now,

$\dfrac{x}{a} + \dfrac{y}{b} = 1$

$or, \dfrac{x}{8} + \dfrac{y}{4} = 1$

$\therefore x + 2y = 8$ is the required equation of the straight line.

2. Find the equation of the straight line which passes through the point (3,4) and makes intercepts on the axes the sum of whose lengths is 14.

Solution:

Here,

Passing point of the line (x,y) = (3,4)

sum of x-intercept and y-intercept = 14

$or, a + b = 14 \implies b= 14 - a$ --- (i)

Using equation of straight line in double intercept form, we get,

$\dfrac{x}{a} + \dfrac{y}{b} = 1$

$or, \dfrac{3}{a} + \dfrac{4}{14 - a} = 1$

$or, \dfrac{3(14-a) + 4a}{a(14-a)} = 1$

$or, 42 - 3a + 4a = 14a - a^2$

$or, a + 42 = 14a - a^2$

$or, a^2 - 13a + 42 = 0$

$or, (a-6)(a-7) =0$

Either, $(a-6) = 0 \implies a = 6$ So, $b = 8$

Or, $(a-7) = 0 \implies a = 7$ So, $b = 7$

Now,

Equation of straight line when (a,b) = (6,8) is

$\dfrac{x}{a} + \dfrac{y}{b} = 1$

$or, \dfrac{x}{6} + \dfrac{y}{8} = 1$

$or, \dfrac{4x + 3y}{24} = 1$

$\therefore 4x + 3y = 24$

Also,

Equation of straight line when (a,b) = (7,7) is

$\dfrac{x}{a} + \dfrac{y}{b} = 1$

$or, \dfrac{x}{7} + \dfrac{y}{7} = 1$

$\therefore x + y = 7$

3. For what values of k will three points (1,4), (-3,16) and (k,-2) collinear?

Solution:

Here,

Let $A(x_1, y_1) = (1,4)$

Let $B(x_2,y_2) = (-3,16)$

Let $C(x_3,y_3) = (k,-2)$

For given points to be collinear,

slope of AB = slope of BC must be true

$or, \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \dfrac{y_3 - y_2}{x_3 - x_2}$

$or, \dfrac{16-4}{-3-1} = \dfrac{-2-16}{k+3}$

$or, \dfrac{12}{-4} = \dfrac{-18}{k+3}$

$or, -3 = \dfrac{-18}{k+3}$

$or, 1 = \dfrac{6}{k+3}$

$\therefore k+ 3 = 6 \implies k = 3$

Hence, the required value of k is 3.

11. Prove that the equation of the straight line which passes through the point $(acos^3 \theta , asin^3 \theta)$ and is perpendicular to the straight line $x sec \theta + y cosec\theta = a$ is $xcos \theta - ysin \theta = a cos2 \theta$.

Solution:

Let the required line be AB with slope 'm_1'

Given,

passing point (x,y) = $(acos^3 \theta , asin^3 \theta)$

Here,

line 2 is $x sec \theta + y cosec\theta = a$

Slope of line 2 ($m_2$ ) = $\dfrac{-sec \theta}{cosec \theta} = \dfrac{- sin \theta}{cos \theta}$

Since line AB and line 2 are perpendicular,

$m_1 * m_2 = -1 \implies m_1 = \dfrac{-1}{m_2}$

$\therefore m_1 = \dfrac{cos \theta}{sin \theta}$

Now,

Put (x,y) and $m_1$ in y = mx +c, we get,
