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

m1=−3−4=34

And slope of line segment joining P(-1, 3) and Q(x, y,) is

m2=y1−3x1−(−1)=y1−3x1+1

As they are perpendicular we can write as,

m1=−1m2

34=−1(y1−3/x+1)

⇒ 34=−(x1+1)(y1−3)

(y1-3)3 = - 4(x1 +1)

3y1- 9 = - 4x1- 4.

4x1 + 3y1-9 + 4 = 0

4x1

49.

Let P(3, 9) and Q (-1, 2) be the point. Let M bisects PQ at M so,

Co-ordinate of M = (x1+x22,y1+y22)

=(3+(−1)2,4+22)

=(3−12,62)=(22,62)=(1,3)

Now, slope of AB, m = y2−y1x2−x1=2−4−1−3=−2−4=12.

As the bisects AB perpendicular it has slope −1m and it passes through M(1, 3) it has the equation of the form,

−1m=y−y σx−x 0

−112=y−3x−1

⇒−2=y−3x−1

⇒−2(x−1)=y−3

⇒−2x+2=y−3

⇒2x+y−3−2=0

2x + y - 5 = 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

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. 

The slope of the line 3x - 4y + 2 = 0 is,

m=- 34
= −3−4=34

So, slope of line parallel to 3x - 4y + 2 = 0 is also m= 34 .

Hence, this parallel line passes through ( -2, 3) we can write,

m=y−y0x−x0

34=y−3x− (−2)=y−3x+2

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. 

(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
