Disclaimer:

Answers mentioned here are not solved by teachers. These are the solutions written by a student of Grade 11. Answers are all correct. However, the language or process of solving the questions might be informal and in examinations, you might have to add little more language and show more calculations than what has been done here. So, we highly encourage you to view these solutions as guide rather than just copying everything mentioned here. Few questions have been typed while most of them have been updated as pictures.



1. Find the single equation representing the line pair

a) $x + y =0, x + 2y =0$

Solution:
Here,
Equation of lines are $x + y = 0$ and $x + 2y = 0$

Now,
Single equation representing the line pair is $\implies (x+y)(x+2y) = 0$

$or, x(x +2y) + y(x +2y) =0$

$or, x^2 + 2xy  + xy + 2y^2 = 0$

$\therefore x^2 + 3xy + 2y^2 = 0$




b) $ax - by= 0, bx + ay =0$

Solution:
Here,
Equation of lines are: $ax-by = 0$ and $bx+ay = 0$

Now,
Single equation representing the line pair is $\implies (ax-by)(bx +ay)=0$

$or, ax(bx + ay)-by(bx + ay) = 0$

$or, abx² + a²xy - b²xy - aby² = 0$

$\therefore abx² +(a²-b²)xy - aby²= 0$



c) $x + y+2 = 0, x + 2y + 1 = 0$

Solution:
Here,
Equation of lines are: $x + y + 2=0$ and $x +2y + 1 = 0$

Now,
Single equation representing the line pair is $\implies (x + y+2)(x + 2y +1) = 0$

$or, x(x + 2y +1) + y(x + 2y +1) + 2(x +2y+1) = 0$

$or, x² + 2xy + x + xy + 2y² + y + 2x + 4y + 2 = 0$

$or, x² + 3xy + 3x + 5y + 2y² + 2 = 0$



2. Determine the lines represented by each of the following equations:

a) $x^2 - 2xy = 0$

Solution:

Given,
$x^2 - 2xy = 0 \implies x(x-2y) = 0$

So,
Line 1 is $x = 0$
Line 2 is $x - 2y = 0$




b) $x^2 - 5xy + 4y^2 = 0$

Solution:

Given,
$x^2 - 5xy + 4y^2 = 0 \implies (x-4y)(x-y) = 0$

So,
Line 1 is $x - 4y = 0$
Line 2 is $x - y = 0$



c) $xy - 3x + 2y -6 =0$

Solution:

Here,
$xy - 3x + 2y - 6 = 0 \implies x(y-3) + 2(y-3)=0$

$or, (x+2)(y-3) =0$

So,
Line 1 is $x + 2 =0$
Line 2 is $y -3 =0$



d) $x^2 + 2xy +y^2 - 2x - 2y -15 =0$

Solution:

Here,
$x^2 + 2xy +y^2 -2x - 2y - 15 = 0$

$or, x^2 + 2xy - 2x + y^2 -2y -15 = 0$

$or, x^2 + x(2y - 2) + (y^2 - 2y -15) =0$

Comparing above equation with general quadratic equation
$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$
We get,
$a = 1$
$b = 2y - 2$
$c = y^2 - 2y -15$

Using formula,

$x = \dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$or, 2ax = -(2y-2) \pm \sqrt{(2y-2)^2 - 4*1*(y^2 -2y-15)}$

$or, 2*1*x = 2 - 2y \pm \sqrt{4y^2 - 8y + 4 - (4y^2 - 8y - 60)}$

$or, 2x = 2 - 2y \pm \sqrt{4y^2 - 8y + 4 - 4y^2 + 8y +60}$

$or, 2x + 2y -2 = \pm \sqrt{64}$

$or, 2x + 2y - 2 = \pm 8$

Taking positive sign, we get,

$or, 2x + 2y - 2 =8 \implies 2x + 2y - 10= 0$

$\therefore x + y - 5 = 0 $

Taking negative sign, we get,

$or, 2x + 2y - 2 = -8 \implies 2x + 2y +6 =0$

$\therefore x + y + 3=0$

Hence, the required equations of lines are $x + y - 5= 0$ and $x + y + 3 =0$.



3. Find the angle between following pairs of lines.

a) $x^2 + 9xy + 14y^2 = 0$

Solution:
Here,
$a = 1$
$h = \frac{9}{2}$
$b = 14$

Let $\theta$ be the angle between the given pair of lines.

We know,

$tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{2\sqrt{h^2 - ab}}{a+b}$ 
 
$or, tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{2 \sqrt{ (\frac{9}{2} )^2 - 1 * 14}}{1 + 14}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{2 \sqrt{ \frac{81}{4} - 14}}{15}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{2 \sqrt{\frac{81-56}{4}}}{15}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{2 \sqrt{\frac{25}{4} }}{15}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{2 * \frac{5}{2} }{15}$

$or, tan  \theta = \pm \dfrac{5}{15}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{1}{3}$

$\therefore \theta = tan^{-1} \left ( \pm \dfrac{1}{3} \right )$



b) $x^2 - 2xy cot \theta - y^2 = 0$

Solution:
Here,
$x^2 - 2xy cot \theta - y^2 = 0$

Comparing given equation with second degree homogeneous equation $ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 = 0$, we get,
$a = 1$
$h = -cot \theta$
$b = -1$

Let $\theta$ be the angle between the given lines

We have,

$tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{ \sqrt{h^2 - ab}}{a+b}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{ sqrt{(-cot\theta)^2 - 1(-1)}}{1 + (-1)}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{sqrt{cot^2 \theta + 1 }}{0}$

$or, tan \theta = \infty$

$or, \theta = tan^{-1} (\infty)$

$\therefore \theta = \dfrac{\pi}{2}$



c) $x^2 - 5xy + 4y^2 + x + 2y - 2= 0$

Solution:

Write the language yourself.

We have,
$a = 1$
$h = - \frac{5}{2}$
$b = 4$

Using formula,

$tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{ \sqrt{h^2 - ab}}{a + b}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm 2 \dfrac{\sqrt{ (-\frac{5}{2} )^2 - 1 * 4}}{1 +4}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm 2 \dfrac{\sqrt{ \frac{25}{4} - 4}}{5}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm 2 \dfrac{\sqrt{{\frac{25 - 16}{4}}}{5}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm 2 \dfrac{\sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} }{5}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{ 2 * \frac{3}{2} }{5}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{3}{5}$

$\therefore \theta = tan^{-1} \left ( \pm \dfrac{3}{5} \right )$

10 a) Show that the lines joining the origin to the point of intersection of the line $x + y = 1$ with the curve $4x²+4y²+4x -2y -5=0$ are at right angles to each other.

Solution:

Given,
Equation of a straight line is $x + y =1$

$or, \dfrac{x + y}{1} = 1$ ---- (i)

Equation of a curve is $4x²+4y²+4x-2y-5=0$

Now,
Making equation (i) homogenous with the help of equation (ii), we get,

$4x²+4y²+2(2x -y)×\dfrac{(x+y)}{1} - 5\dfrac{(x+1)^2}{1^2} = 0$

$or, 4x²+4y²+2{2x(x+y)-y(x+y)} - 5(x²+2xy +y²)=0$

$or, 4x²+4y²+2{2x²+2xy-xy-y²} - 5x²-10xy -5y²=0$

$or, 4x²-5x²+4y²-5y²-10xy +4x²+2xy -2y²=0$

$\therefore 3x²-8xy -3y²=0$

Comparing above equation with homogenous equation of second degree $ax²+2hxy+by²=0$, we get,
$a = 3$
$b = -3$

If the lines represented by second degree equation are perpendicular then the sum of coefficients of x and y must be zero.

$\therefore a + b = 3+(-3) = 0$

Hence, it is proved.

11. Prove that the two straight lines $(x²+y²)sin² \alpha = (xcos \theta - y sin \theta)^2 $ include an angle 2\alpha$.

Solution:

Given,
$(x²+y²)sin² \alpha = (xcos \theta - y sin \theta)^2 $

$or, (x²+y²)sin²\alpha = x²cos²\theta + y²sin²\theta - 2xy cos\theta sin\theta$

$or, x²(sin²\alpha - cos²\theta) + y²(sin²\alpha - sin²\theta) + xy sin 2\theta = 0$

Here,

$a= (sin^2 \alpha - cos^2 \theta)$
$b = (sin^2 \alpha - sin^2 \theta)$
$h = sin 2 \theta$

Let $\theta$ be the angle between the given pair of lines, we know,

$tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{h^2 - ab}{a + b}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{(sin 2\theta)^2 - (sin^2 \alpha - cos^2\theta)(sin^2 \alpha - sin^2 \theta)}{sin^2 \alpha - cos^2\theta + sin^2 \alpha - sin^2 \theta)}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{(sin 2 \theta)^2 - (sin^4 \alpha - sin^2 \alpha sin^2 \theta - sin^2 \alpha cos^2\theta + sin^2 \theta cos^2 \theta)}{2 sin^2 \alpha - (sin^2 \theta + cos^2 \theta)}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{(sin2 \theta)^2 - {sin^2 \alpha (sin^2 \alpha - cos^2 \theta) - sin^2 \theta(sin^2 \alpha - cos^2 \theta)}{2sin^2 \alpha - 1}$

$or, tan \theta = \pm \dfrac{(sin2 \theta)^2 - {(sin^2 \alpha - sin^2 \theta)(sin^2 \alpha - cos^2 \theta)}{-(1 - 2sin^2 \alpha)}$

$or, tan\theta = \pm \dfrac{
