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

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

50. Let P(-1, 3) be the given point and Q(x, y,) be the Co-ordinate of the foot of perpendicular
So, slope of line 3x - 4y - 16 = 0 is
And slope of line segment joining P(-1, 3) and Q(x, y,) is
As they are perpendicular we can write as,
(y1-3)3 = - 4(x1 +1)
3y1- 9 = - 4x1- 4.
4x1 + 3y1-9 + 4 = 0
4x1
49. Find the equation of the right bisector of the line segment joining the points (3, 4)and (–1, 2).
49. Find the equation of the right bisector of the line segment joining the points (3, 4)and (–1, 2).

Let P(3, 9) and Q (-1, 2) be the point. Let M bisects PQ at M so,
Co-ordinate of M =
Now, slope of AB, m =
As the bisects AB perpendicular it has slope and it passes through M(1, 3) it has the equation of the form,
2x + y - 5 = 0
48. Two lines passing through the point (2, 3) intersects each other at an angle of 60o. If slope of one line is 2, find equation of the other line.
48. Two lines passing through the point (2, 3) intersects each other at an angle of 60o. If slope of one line is 2, find equation of the other line.
48.
Given, slope of line 1, m1 = 2.
Let m2 be the slope of line 2.
If θ is the angle between the two lines then we can write,



47. Prove that the line through the point (x1, y1) and parallel to the line Ax + By + C = 0 is A (x –x1) + B (y – y1) = 0.
47. Prove that the line through the point (x1, y1) and parallel to the line Ax + By + C = 0 is A (x –x1) + B (y – y1) = 0.
47.
The slope of line 4x + by + c = 0 is
m = -A/B
As the required line is parallel to the line Ax + by + c = 0
They have the same slope ie, m = -A/B
So, equation of line wit
46. The line through the points (h, 3) and (4, 1) intersects the line 7x − 9y −19 = 0 at right angle. Find the value of h.
46. The line through the points (h, 3) and (4, 1) intersects the line 7x − 9y −19 = 0 at right angle. Find the value of h.
46. Slope of line 1 (passing) through (h. 3) and (4, 1) is

45. Find angles between the lines √3x + y = 1and x + √3y = 1.
45. Find angles between the lines √3x + y = 1and x + √3y = 1.
44. Find equation of the line perpendicular to the line x – 7y + 5 = 0 and havingx intercept 3.
44. Find equation of the line perpendicular to the line x – 7y + 5 = 0 and havingx intercept 3.
44.
The slope of line x- 7y + 5 = 0 is

So, equation of line with slope m2 and having x-intercept 3 is
y = m (x-d), d = x- intercept
⇒y = - 7 (x- 3)
⇒y = - 7x + 21
⇒ 7x + y- 21 = 0.
43. Find equation of the line parallel to the line 3x − 4y + 2 = 0 and passing throughthe point (–2, 3).
43. Find equation of the line parallel to the line 3x − 4y + 2 = 0 and passing throughthe point (–2, 3).
43.
The slope of the line 3x - 4y + 2 = 0 is,
So, slope of line parallel to 3x - 4y + 2 = 0 is also m=
Hence, this parallel line passes through ( -2, 3) we can write,
3 (x + 2) = 4 (y - 3)
3x + 6 = 4y - 12
3x - 4y + 6 + 12 = 0.
3x - 4y + 18 = 0. Which is the required equation of line.
42. Find the distance between parallel lines
(i) 15x + 8y – 34 = 0 and 15x + 8y + 31 = 0 (ii) l (x + y) + p = 0 and l (x + y) – r = 0.
42. Find the distance between parallel lines
(i) 15x + 8y – 34 = 0 and 15x + 8y + 31 = 0 (ii) l (x + y) + p = 0 and l (x + y) – r = 0.
42.
(i) Given, equation of lines are
15x + 8y- 34 = 0
15x + 8y + 31 = 0
So, c1 = 34 and c2 = 31, A = 15 and B = 8
