* Answer the following questions in one sentence. [1 Marks Each] [6]
1. Find the equation of the line which satisfy the given condition:
Passing through (0, 0) with slope m.
Ans. : Given point = (0, 0) and slope = m
We know that the point (x, y) lies on the line with slope m through the fixed point (x0, y0), if and
only if, its coordinates satisfy the equation y - y0 = m (x - x0)
∴ y - 0 = m (x - 0)
⇒ y = mx
⇒ y - mx = 0
Therefore, the required equation of the line is y - mx = 0.
2. Reduce the equation into slope intercept form and find the slope and the y-intercepts.

Ans. : Equation of the line passing through the point (x0, y0) having slope m is
y - y1 = m (x - x1) ...(i)
Given, m = slope of the line = 1

and x1 = - 4, y1 = 3
From Eq. (i). required equation of the line is

⇒ 2y - 6 = x + 4
⇒ x - 2y + 10 = 0
8. Find the equation of the line which satisfy the given condition:
The line passing through the points (-1, 1) and (2, - 4).
Ans. : Given points are A(x1, y1) = (-1, 1) and B(x2, y2) = (2, -4), then equation of line AB is
y2 − y1
y − y1 = (x − x1 )
x2 − x1
−4−1
⇒ y − 1 = (x + 1) [∵ x1 = −1, y1 = 1, x2 = 2, y2 = −4]

9. Find the distance between parallel lines. 15x + 8y - 34 = 0 and 15 x + 8y + 31 = 0
Ans. : The given equations are
15x + 8y - 34 = 0
and 15 x + 8y + 31 = 0
where a = 15, b = 8, c1 = -34 and c2 = 31

10. Find the equation of the line perpendicular to the line x - 7y + 5 = 0 and having x intercept 3.
Ans. : Equation of any line which is perpendicular to the line
x - 7y + 5 = 0 is 7x + y + k = 0
Since this line passes through point (3, 0)
∴ 7 × 3 + 0 + k = 0 ⇒ k = -21
Thus equation of required line is 7x + y - 21 = 0
11. The line through the points (h, 3) and (4, 1) intersects the line 7x - 9y - 19 = 0 at right angle.
Find the value of h.

12. Find the distance between P(x1, y1) and Q(x2, y2) when : PQ is parallel to the x-axis.
Ans. : Here P(x1, y1) and Q(x2, y2) are two points.
PQ is parallel to the x-axis then y2 - y1 = 0
Then, distance P Q = √(x

b
= 1 ⇒ 2b + 18 - 2b = 9b - b2
⇒ b2 - 9b + 18 = 0 ⇒ (b - 3)(b - 6) = 0
⇒ b = 3, 6
Putting these values of b in (ii)
For b = 3, a = 9 - 3 = 6
For b = 6, a = 9 - 6 = 3
Thus equation of lines are

14. Find the coordinates of the foot of perpendicular from the point (-1, 3) to the line 3x - 4y - 16 =
0
Ans. : Let Q be the foot of perpendicular drawn from P(-1, 3) on the line 3x - 4y - 16 = 0
∴ Equation of a line ⊥ to 3x - 4y - 16 = 0 is 4x + 3y + k = 0
Since this line passes through point (-1, 3)
∴ 4 × −1 + 3 × 3 + k = 0 ⇒ −4 + 9 + k = 0 ⇒ k = −5
Thus Q is a point of intersection of the lines
3x - 4y - 16 = 0 and 4x + 3y - 5 = 0
Solving these equations by cross multiplication we have
x y 1

x −1 68
∴ = ⇒ x =
