Straight Lines

p1 and p2 are points on either of the two lines y-√3 and |x|=2 at a distance of 5units from their point of intersection.Find the coordinates of the foot of perpendicular drawn from p1 and p2 on the bisector of theangle between the given lines.

  Since, \[y\text{ }-\text{ }\surd 3\left| x \right|\text{ }=\text{ }2\]If x ≥ 0, then \[y\text{ }-\text{ }\surd 3x\text{ }=\text{ }2\text{ }\ldots ..\text{ }\left( i \right)\] If x < 0,...

A person standing at the junction (crossing) of two straight paths represented by the equations 2x – 3y + 4 = 0 and 3x + 4y – 5 = 0 wants to reach the path whose equation is 6x – 7y + 8 = 0 in the least time. Find equation of the path that he should follow.

GIVEN: $2x-3y+4=0$...(i) $3x+4y-5=0$...(ii) $6x-7y+8=0$...(iii) Here the individual is remaining at the intersection of the ways addressed by lines (1) and (2). By settling conditions (1) and (2) we...

find the equation of the line which satisfy the given condition: The owner of a milk store finds that, he can sell 980 litres of milk each week at Rs. 14/litre and 1220 litres of milk each week at Rs. 16/litre. Assuming a linear relationship between selling price and demand, how many litres could he sell weekly at Rs. 17/litre?

Accepting the connection between selling cost and request is direct.   Allow us to accept selling cost per liter along X-pivot and request along Y-hub, we have two focuses \[\left(...

find the equation of the line which satisfy the given condition: The length L (in centimetre) of a copper rod is a linear function of its Celsius temperature C. In an experiment, if L = 124.942 when C = 20 and L= 125.134 when C = 110, express L in terms of C.

 Allow us to expect 'L' along X axis and 'C' along Y axis, we have two focuses \[\left( \mathbf{124}.\mathbf{942},\text{ }\mathbf{20} \right)\text{ }\mathbf{and}\text{ }\left(...

find the equation of the line which satisfy the given condition: Find equation of the line through the point (0, 2) making an angle 2π/3 with the positive x-axis. Also, find the equation of line parallel to it and crossing the y-axis at a distance of 2 units below the origin.

 Given:   \[\mathbf{Point}\text{ }\left( \mathbf{0},\text{ }\mathbf{2} \right)\] and \[\mathbf{\theta }\text{ }=\text{ }\mathbf{2\pi }/\mathbf{3}\] We realize that \[\mathbf{m}\text{ }=\text{...
