40. Find the distance of the point (–1, 1) from the line 12(x + 6) = 5(y – 2).
40. Find the distance of the point (–1, 1) from the line 12(x + 6) = 5(y – 2).
40.
The given equation of the line is.
12 (x + 6) = 5 (y- 2)
⇒ 12x + 72 = 5y- 9
⇒ 12x- 5y + 72 + 9 = 0
⇒ 12x- 5y + 82 = 0
The perpendicular distance of point (-1, 1) from the line is given by

39. Reduce the following equations into normal form. Find their perpendicular distances from the origin and angle between perpendicular and the positive x-axis.
(i) x – √3y + 8 = 0, (ii) y – 2 = 0, (iii) x – y = 4.

38. Reduce the following equations into intercept form and find their intercepts onthe axes.
(i) 3x + 2y – 12 = 0, (ii) 4x – 3y = 6, (iii) 3y + 2 = 0.
38. Reduce the following equations into intercept form and find their intercepts onthe axes.
(i) 3x + 2y – 12 = 0, (ii) 4x – 3y = 6, (iii) 3y + 2 = 0.
38. (i) Given, 3x + 2y 12 = 0.
3x + 2y = 12
Dividing both sides by 12 we get,
Comparing the above equation with = we get, x-intercept, a = 4 and y-intercept b = 6.
(ii) Given, 4x - 3y = 6
Dividing the both sides by 6.
Comparing above equation by we get, x-intercept a = and

Exercise 9.3
37. (i) Given, x + 7y = 0.
7y = -x
y = x + 0.
Comparing the above equation with y = mx + c we get, slope, m = - and c = 0, y-intercept
(ii) Given, 6x + 3y - 5 = 0
3y = -6x + 5
y = - x + = -2x +
Comparing the above equation with y = mx + c we get, slope

36. By using the concept of equation of a line, prove that the three points (3, 0), (– 2, – 2) and (8, 2) are collinear.
36.
Let the given points be A (3, 0), B (–2, –2) and C (8, 2). Then by two point form we can write equation of line passing point A (3, 0) and B (–2, –2) as
If the three points A, B and C are co-linear, C will also lieonm the line formed by AB or satisfies equation (1).
Hence, putting x = 8 an
35. Point R (h, k) divides a line segment between the axes in the ratio 1: 2. Find equation of the line.

35. Point R (h, k) divides a line segment between the axes in the ratio 1: 2. Find equation of the line.

35. Equation of line with intercept form is
As R (h, x) divides line segment joining point A (a, 0) and B (0, b) in the ratio 1 : 2 we can write,
So,
Hence, putting value of a and b in equation (1) we get,

Since P (a, b) is the mid-point of the line segment say AB with points A (0, y) and B (x, 0) we can write,
So, the equation of line with x and y intercept 2a and 2b using intercept form is
Hence, proved
