Let a circle C of radius 5 lie below the x-axis. The line L1 : 4x + 3y + 2 = 0 passes through the centre P of the circle C and intersects the line L2 : 3x – 4y – 11 = 0 at Q. The line L2 touches C at the point Q. Then the distance of P from the line 5x – 12y + 51 = 0 is……….
Let a circle C of radius 5 lie below the x-axis. The line L1 : 4x + 3y + 2 = 0 passes through the centre P of the circle C and intersects the line L2 : 3x – 4y – 11 = 0 at Q. The line L2 touches C at the point Q. Then the distance of P from the line 5x – 12y + 51 = 0 is……….

Since circle C touches the line L2 at Q intersection point L1 and L2 is (1, -2)
P lies of L1
Now,
PQ = 5 ? (x – 1)2 +

The set of values of k, for which the circle C : 4x2 + 4y2 – 12x + 8y + k = 0 lies inside the fourth quadrant and the point <!-- [if gte mso 9]><xml>
C : 4x2 + 4y2 – 12x + 8y + k = 0
Lies on or inside the C then
Now, circle lies in 4th quadrant centre
 
28. Find equation of the line through the point (0, 2) making an angle with the positive x-axis. Also, find the equation of line parallel to it and crossing the y-axis at a distance of 2 units below the origin.

76. A person standing at the junction (crossing) of two straight paths represented by the equations 2x – 3y + 4 = 0 and 3x + 4y – 5 = 0 wants to reach the path whose equation is 6x – 7y + 8 = 0 in the least time. Find equation of the path that he should follow.

76.
If point P be the junction between the lines
2x – 3y + 4 = 0 ______ (1)
3x + 4y – 5 = 0 ______ (2)
Solving (1) and (2) using 3 × (1) – 2 × (2) we get,
6x – 9y + 12 – (6x + 8y – 10) = 0
–17y + 22 = 0
y =
And 2x = 3y– 4
=> 2x = 3 × – 4
x = – 2 = =&

74. A ray of light passing through the point (1, 2) reflects on the x-axis at point A and the reflected ray passes through the point (5, 3). Find the coordinates of A.
74. A ray of light passing through the point (1, 2) reflects on the x-axis at point A and the reflected ray passes through the point (5, 3). Find the coordinates of A.
Let A have the co-ordinate (x, o)
By laws of reflection
∠PAB = ∠ QAB = θ
And ∠ CAQ + θ = 90°
As normal is ⊥ to surface (x-axis)
⇒ ∠CAQ = 90° - θ
and ∠CAP = 90° + θ



73. Find equation of the line which is equidistant from parallel lines 9x + 6y – 7 = 0 and 3x + 2y + 6 = 0.
73. Find equation of the line which is equidistant from parallel lines 9x + 6y – 7 = 0 and 3x + 2y + 6 = 0.
73. The given eqn of limes are.
9x + 6y – 7 = 0 ______ (1)
3x + 2y + b = 0 ______ (2)
Let P (x0, y0) be a point equidistant from (1) and (2) so

9x0 + 6y - 7 = ± 3 (3x0 + 2y0 + 6)
When, 9x0 + 6y0 – 7 = 3 (3x0 + 2y0 + 6)
⇒ 9x0 + 6y0 - 7 = 9x0 + 6y0 + 18
⇒ - 7 = 18 which in not true
So, 9x0 + 6y0 -
72. If sum of the perpendicular distances of a variable point P (x, y) from the lines x + y – 5 = 0 and 3x – 2y +7 = 0 is always 10. Show that P must move on a line.
72. If sum of the perpendicular distances of a variable point P (x, y) from the lines x + y – 5 = 0 and 3x – 2y +7 = 0 is always 10. Show that P must move on a line.
72. The given eqn of the lines are.
x + y ? 5 = 0 _______ (1)
3x ? 2y + 7 = 0 ______ (2)
Given, sum of perpendicular distance of P (x, y) from the two lines is always 10 .

The above eqn can be expressed as a linear combination Ax + By + C = 0 where A, B & C are constants representing a straight li
