Slope of AH = a + 2 1 slope of BC = − 1 p ∴ p = a + 2 ∴ C ( 1 8 p − 3 0 p + 1 , 1 5 p − 3 3 p + 1 )  

slope of HC =  1 6 p − p 2 − 3 1 1 6 p − 3 2  

slope of BC × slope of HC = -1 Þ p = 3 or 5

hence p = 3 is only possible value.

Let point P : (h, k)

Therefore according to question,  ( h − 1 ) 2 + ( k − 2 ) 2 + ( h + 2 ) 2 + ( k − 1 ) 2 = 1 4

∴ locus of P(h, k) is x 2 + y 2 + x − 3 y − 2 = 0  

Now intersection with x – axis are  x 2 + x − 2 = 0 ⇒ x = − 2 , 1  

Now intersection with y – axis are  y 2 − 3 y − 2 = 0 ⇒ y = 3 ± 1 7 2  

Therefore are of the quadrilateral ABCD is =  1 2 ( | x 1 | + | x 2 | ) ( | y 1 | + | y 2 | ) = 1 2 × 3 × 1 7 = 3 1 7 2

If the two lines are perpendicular then a = 2

D = 0       ⇒    c = -3

(D = abc + 2fgh - af2 – bg2 - ch2)

The two altitudes are

( x − 3 y + 1 ) ( x + 3 y − 5 ) = 0            

Point of int. of the 2 altitudes is  ( 2 , 3 )  

Let slope of 3rd altitude be ‘m’

then   | m − 1 3 1 + 1 3 | = 3 ⇒ 3 m − 1 3 + m = ± 3

3 m − 1 = ± 3 ± 3 m            

  m = ∞ , = − 2 2 3 = − 1 3          

∴ The third altitude is x = 2

(k-3)/ (h-2) × (k-0)/ (h-0) = -1
⇒ k (2k – 3) = -2 (h – 2)h
⇒ 2h² + 2k² – 4h – 3k = 0
2x² + 2y² – 4x – 3y = 0
(0,0)

P ( x 1 , y 1 )

Q ( x 2 , y 2 )

x 1 + x 2 = r 2 , x 1 x 2 = P 2

y 1 + y 2 = s , y 1 , y 2 = − 9

( x − x 1 ) ( x − x 2 ) + ( y − y 1 ) ( y − y 2 ) = 0

2 ( x 2 + y 2 ) − r x − 2 s y + p − 2 q = 0

r = 11, s = 7, p – 2q = -22

According to question,

  1 2 ( 1 a + 1 b ) = 1 4         

1 a + 1 b = 1 2 . . . . . . . . ( i )           

Equation of required line is x a + y b = 1  

Obviously B (2, 2) satisfying condition (i)

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
