straight line

Example 1 : A rod of length k slides in a vertical plane, its ends touching the co-ordinates axes. Prove that the locus of the foot of the perpendicular from the origin to the rod is (x2 + y2)3 = k2x2y2. Example 2 : Two fixed points A and B are taken on the co-ordinate axes such that OA = a and OB = b. Two variable point A and B are taken on the same axes such that OA + OB = OA + OB. Find the locus of the point of intersection of AB and AB. Example 3 : Show that the origin is within the triangle whose vertices are A(2, 1), B(3, 2) and C( 4, 1). Example 4 : A straight line moves so that the sum of the reciprocals of its intercepts on the coordinate axes is constant. Show that it passes through a fixed point. Example 5 : ABCD is a variable rectangle having its sides parallel to fixed directions. The vertices B and D lie on x = a and x = a and A lies on the line y = 0. Find the locus of C. Example 6 : Each side of a square is of length 6 units and the centre of the square is ( 1, 2). One of its diagonals is parallel to x + y = 0. Find the coordinates of the vertices of the square. B is ( 4, 5) and D is (2, 1). The vertices of the square are (2, 5), ( 4, 5), ( 4, 1) and (2, 1). Example 7 : Find the incentre of the triangle whose sides have the equations x + y 7 = 0, x y + 1 = 0 and x 3y + 5 = 0. Example 8 : Prove that the diagonals of the parallelogram formed by the lines ax + by + c = 0, ax + by + c= 0, ax + by + c = 0, ax + by + c = 0 will be at right angles if a2 + b2 = a2 + b2 . Example 9 : The sides of a triangle are Ur xcos r + y sin r pr = 0 for r = 1, 2, 3. Show that its orthocentre is given by U1 cos (2 3) = U2cos (3 1) = U3 cos (1 2). Example 10 : Find the locus of a point which moves such that the sum of the perpendicular distances from it on two given straight lines is a constant. Example 11 : A line intersects the straight lines 5x y 4 = 0 and 3x 4y 4 = 0 at A and B respectively. If a point P (1, 5) on the line AB is such that AP : PB = 2:1 (internally), find the point A. Example 12 : Find the values of non-negative real numbers h1, h2, h3, k1, k2, k3 such that the algebraic sum of the perpendiculars drawn from points (2, k1), (3, k2), (7, k3), (h1, 4) (h2, 5), (h3, 3) on a variable line passing through (2, 1) is zero.
