Important Formulas

Inclination of a line:

0° ≤ θ < 180°

Slope of a non-vertical line:

m = tan θ

Slope using 2 points:

If the points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), then

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Slope of a horizontal line:

m = 0

Slope of a vertical line:

m is not defined

Condition for parallel lines:

If L1 ∥ L2, then m1 = m2

Condition for perpendicular lines:

If L1 ⟂ L2, then m1m2 = -1

Angle between 2 non-vertical and non-perpendicular lines:

tan α = |(m2 - m1) / (1 + m1m2)|

Example 1

Question in English:

Find the slope of a line whose inclination is:

(i) 45°

(ii) 60°

(iii) 150°

Question in Hindi:

उस रेखा की ढाल ज्ञात कीजिए जिसका झुकाव है:

(i) 45°

(ii) 60°

(iii) 150°

Solution:

We know that:

m = tan θ

(i) When θ = 45°,

m = tan 45° = 1

(ii) When θ = 60°,

m = tan 60° = √3

(iii) When θ = 150°,

m = tan 150°

m = tan (180° - 30°)

m = -tan 30°

m = -1 / √3

Answer:

(i) 1

(ii) √3

(iii) -1 / √3

Example 2

Question in English:

What is the inclination of a line whose slope is:

(i) 0

(ii) positive

(iii) negative

(iv) not defined?

Question in Hindi:

उस रेखा का झुकाव क्या होगा जिसकी ढाल है:

(i) 0

(ii) धनात्मक

(iii) ऋणात्मक

(iv) अपरिभाषित?

Solution:

Let θ be the inclination of the given line.

We know that:

m = tan θ

Also,

0° ≤ θ < 180°

(i) When m = 0,

tan θ = 0

Therefore,

θ = 0°

(ii) When m > 0,

tan θ > 0

Therefore, θ lies between 0° and 90°.

Hence, θ is acute.

(iii) When m < 0,

tan θ < 0

Therefore, θ lies between 90° and 180°.

Hence, θ is obtuse.

(iv) We know that a vertical line is the only line whose slope is not defined.

The inclination of a vertical line is 90°.

Hence, the inclination of a line whose slope is not defined is 90°.

Example 3

Question in English:

Find the slope of the line passing through the points:

(i) (-2, 3) and (8, -5)

(ii) (4, -3) and (6, -3)

(iii) (3, -1) and (3, 2)

Question in Hindi:

निम्नलिखित बिंदुओं से होकर गुजरने वाली रेखा की ढाल ज्ञात कीजिए:

(i) (-2, 3) और (8, -5)

(ii) (4, -3) और (6, -3)

(iii) (3, -1) और (3, 2)

Solution:

We know that:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(i) For the points (-2, 3) and (8, -5),

m = (-5 - 3) / (8 - (-2))

m = -8 / 10

m = -4 / 5

(ii) For the points (4, -3) and (6, -3),

m = (-3 - (-3)) / (6 - 4)

m = 0 / 2

m = 0

(iii) For the points (3, -1) and (3, 2),

m = (2 - (-1)) / (3 - 3)

m = 3 / 0

So, the slope is not defined.

Answer:

(i) -4 / 5

(ii) 0

(iii) Not defined

Example 4

Question in English:

If the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 5) and (x, 3) is 2, find the value of x.

Question in Hindi:

यदि (2, 5) और (x, 3) से गुजरने वाली रेखा की ढाल 2 है, तो x का मान ज्ञात कीजिए।

Solution:

We know that:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Therefore,

2 = (3 - 5) / (x - 2)

2 = -2 / (x - 2)

2(x - 2) = -2

2x - 4 = -2

2x = 2

x = 1

Answer:

x = 1

Example 5

Question in English:

Find the value of x so that the inclination of the line joining the points (x, -3) and (2, 5) is 135°.

Question in Hindi:

x का मान ज्ञात कीजिए ताकि (x, -3) और (2, 5) को मिलाने वाली रेखा का झुकाव 135° हो।

Solution:

Slope of the line:

m = (5 - (-3)) / (2 - x)

m = 8 / (2 - x)

We know that:

m = tan 135°

m = -1

Therefore,

8 / (2 - x) = -1

8 = x - 2

x = 10

Answer:

x = 10

Example 6

Question in English:

Find the angle between the x-axis and the line joining the points (3, -1) and (4, -2).

Question in Hindi:

x-अक्ष और (3, -1), (4, -2) को मिलाने वाली रेखा के बीच का कोण ज्ञात कीजिए।

Solution:

Slope of the line:

m = (-2 - (-1)) / (4 - 3)

m = -1 / 1

m = -1

Let the required angle be θ.

tan θ = -1

tan θ = tan 135°

Therefore,

θ = 135°

Answer:

135°

Example 7

Question in English:

Show that the line joining the points (2, -3) and (-5, 1) is parallel to the line joining the points (7, -1) and (0, 3).

Question in Hindi:

सिद्ध कीजिए कि (2, -3) और (-5, 1) को मिलाने वाली रेखा, (7, -1) और (0, 3) को मिलाने वाली रेखा के समांतर है।

Solution:

Slope of first line:

m1 = (1 - (-3)) / (-5 - 2)

m1 = 4 / -7

m1 = -4 / 7

Slope of second line:

m2 = (3 - (-1)) / (0 - 7)

m2 = 4 / -7

m2 = -4 / 7

Since,

m1 = m2

Therefore, the two lines are parallel.

Example 8

Question in English:

Show that the line joining the points (2, -5) and (-2, 5) is perpendicular to the line joining the points (6, 3) and (1, 1).

Question in Hindi:

सिद्ध कीजिए कि (2, -5) और (-2, 5) को मिलाने वाली रेखा, (6, 3) और (1, 1) को मिलाने वाली रेखा पर लंब है।

Solution:

Slope of first line:

m1 = (5 - (-5)) / (-2 - 2)

m1 = 10 / -4

m1 = -5 / 2

Slope of second line:

m2 = (1 - 3) / (1 - 6)

m2 = -2 / -5

m2 = 2 / 5

Now,

m1m2 = (-5 / 2) × (2 / 5)

m1m2 = -1

Hence, the lines are perpendicular.

Example 9

Question in English:

If the line through the points (-2, 6) and (4, 8) is perpendicular to the line through the points (8, 12) and (x, 24), find the value of x.

Question in Hindi:

यदि (-2, 6) और (4, 8) से गुजरने वाली रेखा, (8, 12) और (x, 24) से गुजरने वाली रेखा पर लंब है, तो x का मान ज्ञात कीजिए।

Solution:

Slope of first line:

m1 = (8 - 6) / (4 - (-2))

m1 = 2 / 6

m1 = 1 / 3

Slope of second line:

m2 = (24 - 12) / (x - 8)

m2 = 12 / (x - 8)

Since lines are perpendicular,

m1m2 = -1

(1 / 3) × (12 / (x - 8)) = -1

4 / (x - 8) = -1

4 = -(x - 8)

4 = -x + 8

x = 4

Answer:

x = 4

Example 10

Question in English:

Without using Pythagoras theorem, show that the points (4, 4), (3, 5), and (-1, -1) are the vertices of a right-angled triangle.

Question in Hindi:

पाइथागोरस प्रमेय का उपयोग किए बिना सिद्ध कीजिए कि (4, 4), (3, 5) और (-1, -1) एक समकोण त्रिभुज के शीर्ष हैं।

Solution:

Let the points be:

A(4, 4), B(3, 5), C(-1, -1)

Slope of AB:

m1 = (5 - 4) / (3 - 4)

m1 = 1 / -1

m1 = -1

Slope of AC:

m2 = (-1 - 4) / (-1 - 4)

m2 = -5 / -5

m2 = 1

Now,

m1m2 = (-1)(1)

m1m2 = -1

Therefore,

AB ⟂ AC

Hence,

∠CAB = 90°

Therefore, the given points form a right-angled triangle.

Example 11

Question in English:

Using slopes, show that the points (5, 1), (1, -1), and (11, 4) are collinear.

Question in Hindi:

ढालों का प्रयोग करके सिद्ध कीजिए कि बिंदु (5, 1), (1, -1), और (11, 4) संरेखीय हैं।

Solution:

Let the points be:

A(5, 1), B(1, -1), C(11, 4)

Slope of AB:

mAB = (-1 - 1) / (1 - 5)

mAB = -2 / -4

mAB = 1 / 2

Slope of BC:

mBC = (4 - (-1)) / (11 - 1)

mBC = 5 / 10

mBC = 1 / 2

Since,

mAB = mBC

Therefore, A, B, and C are collinear.

Example 12

Question in English:

Find the value of x for which the points (x, -1), (2, 1), and (4, 5) are collinear.

Question in Hindi:

x का मान ज्ञात कीजिए जिसके लिए बिंदु (x, -1), (2, 1), और (4, 5) संरेखीय हों।

Solution:

Let the points be:

A(x, -1), B(2, 1), C(4, 5)

Since the points are collinear,

Slope of AB = Slope of BC

(1 - (-1)) / (2 - x) = (5 - 1) / (4 - 2)

2 / (2 - x) = 4 / 2

2 / (2 - x) = 2

2 = 2(2 - x)

2 = 4 - 2x

2x = 2

x = 1

Answer:

x = 1

Example 13

Question in English:

If the points (h, 0), (a, b), and (0, k) lie on a line, show that:

a / h + b / k = 1

Question in Hindi:

यदि बिंदु (h, 0), (a, b), और (0, k) एक रेखा पर स्थित हैं, तो सिद्ध कीजिए:

a / h + b / k = 1

Solution:

Let the points be:

A(h, 0), B(a, b), C(0, k)

Since A, B, and C are collinear,

Slope of AB = Slope of BC

(b - 0) / (a - h) = (k - b) / (0 - a)

b / (a - h) = (k - b) / -a

-ab = (a - h)(k - b)

-ab = ak - ab - hk + hb

0 = ak - hk + hb

hk = ak + hb

Divide both sides by hk:

1 = a / h + b / k

Therefore,

a / h + b / k = 1

Hence proved.

Example 14

Question in English:

Using slopes, show that the vertices (-2, -1), (4, 0), (3, 3), and (-3, 2) are the vertices of a parallelogram.

Question in Hindi:

ढालों का प्रयोग करके सिद्ध कीजिए कि बिंदु (-2, -1), (4, 0), (3, 3), और (-3, 2) एक समांतर चतुर्भुज के शीर्ष हैं।

Solution:

Let the points be:

A(-2, -1), B(4, 0), C(3, 3), D(-3, 2)

Slope of AB:

mAB = (0 - (-1)) / (4 - (-2))

mAB = 1 / 6

Slope of DC:

mDC = (3 - 2) / (3 - (-3))

mDC = 1 / 6

Therefore,

mAB = mDC

So,

AB ∥ DC

Slope of BC:

mBC = (3 - 0) / (3 - 4)

mBC = 3 / -1

mBC = -3

Slope of AD:

mAD = (2 - (-1)) / (-3 - (-2))

mAD = 3 / -1

mAD = -3

Therefore,

mBC = mAD

So,

BC ∥ AD

Since both pairs of opposite sides are parallel, ABCD is a parallelogram.

Example 15

Question in English:

A(-4, 2), B(2, 6), C(8, 5), and D(9, -7) are the vertices of a quadrilateral ABCD. If P, Q, R, and S are the midpoints of AB, BC, CD, and DA respectively, using slopes, show that PQRS is a parallelogram.

Question in Hindi:

A(-4, 2), B(2, 6), C(8, 5), और D(9, -7) चतुर्भुज ABCD के शीर्ष हैं। यदि P, Q, R, और S क्रमशः AB, BC, CD, और DA के मध्यबिंदु हैं, तो ढालों का प्रयोग करके सिद्ध कीजिए कि PQRS एक समांतर चतुर्भुज है।

Solution:

Using midpoint formula:

P = ((-4 + 2) / 2, (2 + 6) / 2)

P = (-1, 4)

Q = ((2 + 8) / 2, (6 + 5) / 2)

Q = (5, 11 / 2)

R = ((8 + 9) / 2, (5 + (-7)) / 2)

R = (17 / 2, -1)

S = ((9 + (-4)) / 2, (-7 + 2) / 2)

S = (5 / 2, -5 / 2)

Slope of PQ:

mPQ = ((11 / 2) - 4) / (5 - (-1))

mPQ = (3 / 2) / 6

mPQ = 3 / 12

mPQ = 1 / 4

Slope of SR:

mSR = (-1 - (-5 / 2)) / ((17 / 2) - (5 / 2))

mSR = (3 / 2) / 6

mSR = 3 / 12

mSR = 1 / 4

Therefore,

mPQ = mSR

So,

PQ ∥ SR

Slope of QR:

mQR = (-1 - (11 / 2)) / ((17 / 2) - 5)

mQR = (-13 / 2) / (7 / 2)

mQR = -13 / 7

Slope of PS:

mPS = ((-5 / 2) - 4) / ((5 / 2) - (-1))

mPS = (-13 / 2) / (7 / 2)

mPS = -13 / 7

Therefore,

mQR = mPS

So,

QR ∥ PS

Since both pairs of opposite sides are parallel, PQRS is a parallelogram.

Example 16

Question in English:

Find the angle between the lines whose slopes are 1 / 2 and 3.

Question in Hindi:

उन रेखाओं के बीच का कोण ज्ञात कीजिए जिनकी ढालें 1 / 2 और 3 हैं।

Solution:

Let:

m1 = 1 / 2

m2 = 3

We know that:

tan θ = |(m2 - m1) / (1 + m1m2)|

tan θ = |(3 - 1 / 2) / (1 + (1 / 2) × 3)|

tan θ = |(5 / 2) / (1 + 3 / 2)|

tan θ = |(5 / 2) / (5 / 2)|

tan θ = 1

Therefore,

θ = 45°

Answer:

45°

Example 17

Question in English:

If A(-2, 1), B(2, 3), and C(-2, -4) are the vertices of triangle ABC, show that:

tan B = 2 / 3

Question in Hindi:

यदि A(-2, 1), B(2, 3), और C(-2, -4) त्रिभुज ABC के शीर्ष हैं, तो सिद्ध कीजिए:

tan B = 2 / 3

Solution:

Clearly, angle B is the angle between BA and BC.

Slope of BA:

m1 = (3 - 1) / (2 - (-2))

m1 = 2 / 4

m1 = 1 / 2

Slope of BC:

m2 = (-4 - 3) / (-2 - 2)

m2 = -7 / -4

m2 = 7 / 4

Now,

tan B = |(m2 - m1) / (1 + m1m2)|

tan B = |((7 / 4) - (1 / 2)) / (1 + (7 / 4)(1 / 2))|

tan B = |((7 / 4) - (2 / 4)) / (1 + 7 / 8)|

tan B = |(5 / 4) / (15 / 8)|

tan B = (5 / 4) × (8 / 15)

tan B = 2 / 3

Hence proved.

Example 18

Question in English:

If the angle between two lines is π / 4 and the slope of one of the lines is 1 / 2, find the slope of the other line.

Question in Hindi:

यदि दो रेखाओं के बीच का कोण π / 4 है और उनमें से एक रेखा की ढाल 1 / 2 है, तो दूसरी रेखा की ढाल ज्ञात कीजिए।

Solution:

Let:

m1 = 1 / 2

m2 = m

θ = π / 4

We know that:

tan θ = |(m2 - m1) / (1 + m1m2)|

Therefore,

tan (π / 4) = |(m - 1 / 2) / (1 + m / 2)|

1 = |(m - 1 / 2) / (1 + m / 2)|

1 = |(2m - 1) / (2 + m)|

So,

(2m - 1) / (2 + m) = 1

or

(2m - 1) / (2 + m) = -1

Case 1:

(2m - 1) / (2 + m) = 1

2m - 1 = 2 + m

m = 3

Case 2:

(2m - 1) / (2 + m) = -1

2m - 1 = -(2 + m)

2m - 1 = -2 - m

3m = -1

m = -1 / 3

Answer:

m = 3 or m = -1 / 3
