PLANE CURVE-I
PAIR OF LINES & ANGLE BETWEEN THE STRAIGHT LINES
Existence the Pair of Lines:
The most general equation of second degree in is:
( )
We have the required eliminant:
| |
This is the condition that represents a pair of straight lines.
How to find the pair of Lines?
Suppose and re-write the equation ( ) as a quadratic equation in such that:
( )
Or ( ) ( )
Compare the above equation with
So ( )
By Quadratic Formula
√
( ) √[ ( )] ( )
This equation represents the pair of lines.
2. Examine whether each of the given equations represents two straight lines. If so,
find an equation of each straight line ( Problems 1-5 )
Q:
Sol:
It can be also written as ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
Compare it with ( )
By Comparing ( ) ( ), we have
We have the required eliminant:

Required pair of lines
For what value of will each of the following equations represent a pair of
straight lines ( Problems 6-8 )
Q: ( )
Sol: ( )
It can also be written as ( ) ( ) ( )
Compare it with ( )
By Comparing ( ) ( ), we have
As the given equation represent a pair of straight line
So | |

Angle between the straight lines:
The second degree in is:
( )
Let be an angle between the two straight lines represented by equation ( ) is given by
√
Note:
The Two straight lines are at right angles if
The Two straight lines are parallel if
Find the angle between each of the following pairs of lines ( Problems 9-13 )
Q:
Sol:
It can also be written as ( ) ( ) ( )
Compare it with ( )
By Comparing ( ) ( ), we have
( )
As ( ) ,
So the two straight lines are at right angle ( )

It can also be written as ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
Compare it with ( )
By Comparing ( ) ( ), we have
Now
