52. The given equation lines are.
line 1: xcosθ-y sin θcos 2θ
⇒ xcosθ-y sin θ - kcos 2θ = 0
The perpendicular distance from origin (0,0) to line 1 is

Let 0 (o, o) be the origin and P (-1, 2) be the given point on the line y = mx + c.
Then, slope of OP, =

Slope of OP = -2
As the line y = mx + c is ⊥ to OP we can write

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 + 3y1-5 = 0 ___ (1)
As point Q(x1, y1) lies on the line 3x- 4y - 16 = 0 it must satisfy the equation hence,
3x1- 4y1- 16 = 0 ____ (2)
Now, multiplying equation (1) by 4 and equation (2) by 3 and adding then,
4* (4x1 + 3y1- 5) + 3(3x1- 4y1- 16) = 0.
16x1 + 12y1- 20 + 9x1- 12y1- 48 = 0
25x1 = 48 + 20
.
Putting value of x1 in equation (1) we get,

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

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 with slope m and passing through (x1, y1)
is given by point-slope from as,


⇒ - A (x-x1) B (y -y1)
⇒ A (x-x1) + B (y-y1)= 0.
Hence proved.

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.

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.
