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

38. (i) Given, 3x + 2y 12 = 0.

3x + 2y = 12

Dividing both sides by 12 we get,

⇒3x12+2y12=1212

⇒x4+y6=1.

Comparing the above equation with xa+yb=1 = we get, x-intercept, a = 4 and y-intercept b = 6.

(ii) Given, 4x - 3y = 6

Dividing the both sides by 6.

4x6−3y6=66

⇒2x3−y2=1

⇒x3/2+y (−2)=1.

Comparing above equation by xa+yb=1 we get, x-intercept a = 32 and

Exercise 9.3

37.  (i) Given, x + 7y = 0.

7y = -x

y = -17 x + 0.

Comparing the above equation with y = mx + c we get, slope, m = -17 and c = 0, y-intercept

(ii) Given, 6x + 3y - 5 = 0

3y = -6x + 5

y = -63 x + 53 = -2x + 53

Comparing the above equation with y = mx + c we get, slope

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

y−y1=y2−y1x2−x1 (x−x1)

⇒y−0=−2−0−2−3 (x−3)

⇒y=−2−5 (x−3)

⇒5y=2 (x−3)

⇒5y=2x−6

⇒2x−5y−6=0   (1)

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. Equation of line with intercept form is

xa+yb=1   (1)

As R (h, x) divides line segment joining point A (a, 0) and B (0, b) in the ratio 1 : 2 we can write,

(h, k)= (1×0+2×a1+2, 1×b+2×01+2)

So,  h=0+2a3    k=b+03

⇒3h=2a    b=3k

⇒a=3h2    b=3k

Hence, putting value of a and b in equation (1) we get,

x3h/2+y3k=1

⇒x3h+y3k=1

34.

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,

(a, b)= (x+02, y+02)

⇒a=x2?     b=y2

⇒x=2a?     y=2b

So, the equation of line with x and y intercept 2a and 2b using intercept form is

x2a+y2b=1

⇒xa+yb=2

Hence, proved

33. Assuming the price per litre say P in x-axis and the corresponding demand say D in y-axis, we have two point (14, 980) and (16, 1220) in xy plane. Then the points (P, D) will satisfy the equation.

 

⇒D−980=1220−98016−14 (P−14)

⇒D−980=2402 (P−14)

⇒D−120 (P−14)+980

⇒D−120P−1680+980

⇒D=120P−700

Which is the required relation

Where P = 17, we have

D = 120 × 17 – 700

D = 1340

Hence, the owne
