Question 6.
Find the incenter of the triangle formed by the following straight line.
i) x + 1 = 0, 3x- 4y = 5 and 5x + 12y = 27
ii) x + y – 7 =0, x – y + 1 = 0 and x – 3y + 5 = 0
Solution:
i)

In ∆ ABC,
Equation of side AC is
x + 1 = 0 ……… (1)
Equation of side AB is
3x – 4y – 5 = 0 ……………. (2)
Equation of side BC is
5x + 12y – 27 = 0 ………… (3)
From (1), x = – 1
Substitute in (2) ⇒ 3 (-1) – 4y – 5 = 0
4y = -8
y = -2
The point of intersection of (1), (2) is A =(-1, -2)
By solving (2), (3)

The point of intersection of (2), (3) is B = (3, 1)
From (1) x = -1
Substitute in (3)
-5 + 12y – 27 =0
12y = 32
y = $$\frac{32}{12}=\frac{8}{3}$$
The point of intersection of (3), (1) is

Question 7.
A ∆le is formed by the lines ax + by + c = 0, lx + my + n = 0 and px + qy + r = 0. Given that the ∆le is not right angled, show that the straight line $$\frac{a x+b y+c}{a p+b Q}=\frac{l x+m y+n}{I p+m Q}$$ passes through the orthocentre of the ∆le.
Solution:
Given sides of triangle are

ax+by+c /x+mv+y
ax + by + c = 0 ………… (1)
lx + my + n = 0 ………… (2)
px + qy + r = 0 ………… (3)
Equation of line passing through intersecting points of (1), (2) is
ax + by + c + k (lx + my + n) = 0 ………… (4)
(a + ki) x + (b + km)y + (c + nk) = 0
It is ⊥lr to (3), then
p(a + kl) + q(b + km) = 0
⇒ k = –$$\frac{a P+b Q}{l p+m Q}$$
Substitute in (4)

is the required straight line equation of AD This is the altitude passing throught A.

Passes through the othrocentre of the triangle.

Question 8.
The Cartesian equations of the sides $$\overrightarrow{B C}$$ , $$\overrightarrow{C A}$$ and $$\overrightarrow{A B}$$ of a ∆le are respectively u1 = a1x + b1y + c1 = 0, r = 1, 2, 3. Show that the equation of the straight line passing through A and bisecting the side $$\overline{\mathrm{B C}}$$ is $$\frac{u_{3}}{a_{3} b_{1}-a_{1} b_{3}}=\frac{u_{2}}{a_{3} b_{1}-a_{1} b_{3}}$$
Solution:
A is a point of intersection of the lines u2 = 0 and u3 = 0
∴ Equation to a line passing through A is
u2 + λu3 = 0 ⇒ (a2x + b2y + c2) + λ(a3x + b3y + c3) = 0 ………….. (1)
⇒ (a2 + λa3)x + (b2 + λb3) y + (c2 + λc3) = 0
If this is parallel to a1x + b1y + c1 = 0, we get
$$-\frac{\left(a_{2}+\lambda a_{3}\right)}{\left(b_{2}+\lambda b_{3}\right)}=-\frac{a_{1}}{b_{1}}$$
⇒ (a2 + λa3) b1 = (b2 + λb3) a1
⇒ a2b1 + λa3b1 = a1b2 + λa1b3
⇒ λ(a3b1 – a1b3) = – (a2b1 – a1b2) .
⇒ λ = $$\frac{\left(a_{2} b_{1}-a_{1} b_{2}\right)}{a_{3} b_{1}-a_{1} b_{3}}$$
Substituting this value of X in (1), the required equation is
(a2x + b2y + c2) – $$\frac{\left(a_{2} b_{1}-a_{1} b_{2}\right)}{\left(a_{3} b_{1}-a_{1} b_{3}\right)}$$ (a3x + b3y + c3) = 0
⇒ (a3b1 – a1b3) (a2x + b2y + c2) – (a2b1 – a1b2) (a3x + b3y + c3) = 0
⇒ (a3b1 – a1b3)u2 – (a2b1 – a1b2) u3 = 0
⇒ (a3b1 – a1b3)u2 = (a2b1 – a1b2)u3
⇒ $$\frac{u_{3}}{\left(a_{3} b_{1}-a_{1} b_{3}\right)}=\frac{u_{2}}{\left(a_{2} b_{1}-a_{1} b_{2}\right)}$$
