Find the equation of the lines through the point (3, 2) which make an angle of 45° with the line x – 2y = 3.
Solution:
The given equation of a line x – 2y = 3. ∴ Slope of the given line is Let m be the slope of the required line, then tan 45° = ⇒ 1 = ⇒ ± 1 = ⇒ 2 + m = 2m – 1 or, – 2 – m = 2m – 1 ⇒ 2 + 1 = 2m – m or, – 2 + 1 = 2m + m ⇒ 3 = m or, – 1 = 3m ⇒ m = 3 or, m = Case (i) : If m = 3, then the equation of the line passing through (3, 2) is y – 2 = 3(x – 3) ⇒ y – 2 = 3x – 9 ⇒ 3x – y + 2 – 9 = 0 ⇒ 3x – y – 7 = 0. Case (ii) : If m = , then the equation of the line passing through (3, 2) is y - 2 = (x - 3) ⇒ 3y – 6 = – x + 3 ⇒ x + 3y – 6 – 3 = 0 ⇒ x + 3y – 9 = 0. ∴ The required equation of lines are 3x – y – 7 = 0 and x + 3y – 9 = 0.
