A ray of light passing through the point P(2, 3) reflects on the x-axis at point A and the reflected ray passes through the point Q(5, 4). Let R be the point that divides the line segment AQ internally into the ration 2 : 1. Let the co-ordinates of the foot of the perpendicular M from R on the bisector of the angle PAQ be (a, β)). Then the value of 7a + 3β) is equal to……….

The equations of the sides AB, BC and CA of a triangle ABC are 2x + y = 0, x + py = 15a and x – y = 3 respectively. If its orthocenter is (2, a), then p is equal to…………
The equations of the sides AB, BC and CA of a triangle ABC are 2x + y = 0, x + py = 15a and x – y = 3 respectively. If its orthocenter is (2, a), then p is equal to…………
Slope of AH = slope of BC =
slope of HC =
slope of BC × slope of HC = -1 Þ p = 3 or 5
hence p = 3 is only possible value.
A point P moves so that the sum of squares of its distances from the points (1, 2) and (-2, 1) is 14. Let f(x, y) = 0 be the locus of P, which intersects the x-axis at the points A , B and the y-axis at the points C, D. Then the area of the quadrilateral ACBD is equal to:

Let point P : (h, k)
Therefore according to question,
locus of P(h, k) is
Now intersection with x – axis are
Now intersection with y – axis are
Therefore are of the quadrilateral ABCD is =

Consider pair of straight lines ax2 + 3xy – 2y2 – 5x + 5y + c = 0 representing perpendicular lines. Value of equals
If the two lines are perpendicular then a = 2
D = 0
(D = abc + 2fgh - af2 – bg2 - ch2)

If two of the straight lines given by 3x3 + 3x2y – 3xy2 + dy3 = 0, are at right angles, then d is equal to __________
3x² + 3x²y - 3xy² + dy³ = 0
3x² (x + y) – 3y² (x - dy/3) = 0
x - dy/3 = x + y for getting two perpendicular straight lines
d = -3
