y – 1 = m(x – 1)
mx – y + 1 – m = 0
m2 – 3m + 1 = 0
b =
b2 = 2
2 = 5 (1 – e2)

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 circle lies below the axis
y = -6
p (4, -6)
Now distance of P from 5x – 12 y + 51 = 0

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 = =
Hence, the co-ordinate of the junction is P
The eqn of the path to be reach is
6x – 7y + 8 = 0 _____ (3)
Then, least distance will be perpendicular path.
So, slope of ⊥ path =
Hence eqn of shortest/least distance path from P is
119x + 102y – 125 = 0

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. 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 - 7 = -3 (3x0 + 2y0 + 6)
⇒ 9x0 + 6y0 -7 = -9x0 -6y0 -18
⇒ 18x0 + 12y0 + 11= 0.
Hence, the required eqn of line through (x0, y0) & equidistant from parallel line 9x + 6y - 7 = 0
and 3x + 2y + 6 = 0 is 18x + 12y + 11 = 0.
