STRAIGHT LINES

Points to remember

Inclination of a line
The angle made by a line with the positive part of X axis in anticlockwise direction is called inclination of the line. It
is denoted by θ .

Always 0° ≤ θ < 180°

The inclination of X-axis or a line parallel to X-axis is 0°.

The Inclination of Y-axis or a line parallel to Y-axis is 90°.

The inclination of line bisecting first and third quardant is 45°.

The inclination of the line bisecting second and fourth quardants is 135°.

Slope of the line

[I] If the inclination of a line is θ , θ ≠ π/2, then tanθ is defined as the slope or gradient of the line.
It is denoted by m.
Thus m = tanθ.

The slope of X-axis or a line parallel to X-axis is 0.

The slope of Y-axis or a line parallel to Y-axis is not defined.

The slope of line bisecting first and third quardant is 1 .

The slope of the line bisecting second and fourth quardants is -1.
[II] If a line passes through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) then the slope of the line is
y2 − y1 Difference in y co-ordinates
m = x 2 − x1 =
Difference in x co-ordinates
y
Note : If the line passes through origin and a point (x, y) then the slope of the line is m = x

 Slopes of Parallel and Perpandicular Lines

Let the slopes of two lines be m1 and m2 then the two lines will be

Parallel if and only if their slopes are equal. i.e. m1 = m2

Perpendicular if and only if the product of their slopes is -1. i.e. m1×m2 = -1.
Note : (i) If both the lines are parallel to Y-axis then their slopes will not exist.
(ii) If one line is parallel to X-axis and the other is perpendicular to Y-axis then slope of the first line will
be 0 and slope of the later will not exist.

(iii) If slope of a line is m then the slope of a line parallel to it is m and perpendicular to it is − m

 Angle between the straight lines:
If m1 and m2 are the slopes of the lines such that m1⋅m2 ≠ -1. then the measure of acute angle between the lines is
m −m
tan = 1 + 1 m $m2 .

 Intercepts of a line

If a line intersects the X-axis in the point (a, 0) then a is called the X-intercept of the line or intercept made by
the line on X-axis.

If a line intersects the Y-axis in the point (0, b) then b is called the Y-intercept of the line or intercept made by
the line on Y-axis.

Equations of line

Equations of co-ordinate axis and lines parallel to co-ordinate axis

Equation of X-axis is y = 0 and the equation of Y-axis is x = 0.

Equation of line passing through (h, k) and parallel to X-axis is y = k.

Equation of line passing through (h, k) and parallel to Y-axis is x = h.
Note : (i) If the lines x = a and y = b intersect at point P then the co-ordinates of point P will be (a, b).
(ii) The distance between the two lines x = a and x = b is | a - b |.
Similarly the distance between the two lines y = c and y = d is | c - d |.

 Standard forms:

Slope-point form : slope m and passing through a point (x1, y1) is y - y1 = m ( x - x1)
Note : If θ is the inclination of the line, it's slope is m = tan θ then y - y1 = tan θ ( x - x1)

Slope-intercept form : slope m and Y-intercept c is y = m x + c.
x−x y−y

Two-points form : passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is x 2 − x11 = y 2 − y11

Two-intercepts form : X-intercept a and Y-intercept b is x + y = 1
a b

Normal form : distance from origin is r and the inclination of perpendicular from origin θ is
x cosθ
θ + y sinθ
θ=r

General equation of line:

The general equation of straight line is ax + by + c = 0.

Slope of the line ax + by + c = 0 is m = − a = − coefficient of x .

b coefficient of y

X-intercept = − ca and Y-intercept = − c .
b
Note: In the general equation ax + by + c = 0,

a = 0 if and only if the line is parallel to X-axis.

b = 0 if and only if the line is parallel to Y-axis.

c = 0 if and only if the line passes through origin.

 Equation of line passing through origin :

Slope form : Equation of a line passing through orgin and have slope m is y = mx.

General form : General equation of a line passing through origin is ax + by = 0.
Note: 1. In the equation of line passing through origin the constant term is absent.
2. Equation of line passing through the origin and parallel to line ax + by + c = 0 is ax + by = 0.
3. Equation of line passing through the origin and perpendicular to line ax + by + c = 0 is bx - ay = 0.

 Intersection of lines[Cramer's Rule]:

Two lines intersect each other in at most one point. The co-ordinates of point of intersection satisfy both the
equations of the lines. These co-ordinates can be found by solving the equations of the straight lines simultaneouly.
If a1x + b1y = c1, a2x + b2y = c2 are the two lines then their point of intersection is (x, y) where
c1 b1 a1 c1
c2 b2 a2 c2 a1 b1
x= and y = , provided, ! 0.
a1 b1 a1 b1 a2 b2
a2 b2 a2 b2

Note : If for the lines a1x + b1y + c1 = 0, a2x + b2y + c2 = 0,

a b
(i) If a 12 = 1 then the lines are parallel to each other and hence there is no point of intersection.
b2
(ii) If a1a2 + b1b2 = -1then the lines are perpendicular to each other.

 Concurrency of three lines :

Three distinct lines, a1x + b1y + c1 = 0, a2x + b2y + c2 = 0, a3x + b3y + c3 = 0 are said to be concurrent
if and only if
a1 b1 c1
a2 b2 c2 = 0.
a3 b3 c3

 Distance of a point from a straight line :

ah + bk + c
[The distance of the point (h, k) from the straight line ax + by + c = 0 ] =
a 2 + b2

Distance between two parallel straight lines :

The distance between two parallel straight lines c1 − c2
=
ax + by + c 1 =0 and ax + by + c 2 =0 a2 + b2

Two dimentional geometry : CIRCLE

Def.: The locus of points which are at a fixed distance from a fixed point is called a circle.
The fixed point is called center and fixed distance is called radius. C. P

Standard form: Center at origin and radius a units x2 + y2 = a2.

Parametric equation: x = acosθ and y = asinθ

Center - Radius form: Center at (h, k) and radius r units ((x − h) 2 + (y − k) 2 = r 2 .
Parametric equation: x = h + rcosθ and y = k + rsinθ

Diameter form: (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) be end points of diameter x − x1 x − x2 + y − y1 y − y2 = 0

General form: x2 + y 2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0.

(i) It’s center is C ≡ ( -g, -f) and radius is r = g2 + f2 − c

(ii) If g = 0, center lies on Y-axis. If f = 0, center lies on X-axis. If c = 0, circle passes through origin.
(iii) If g2 = c, circle touches X-axis. If f2 = c, circle touches Y-axis. If g 2 = f 2 = c, circle touches both axis
(iv) The circle is called
Real circle if g2 + f2 − c > 0 Point circle if g2 + f2 − c = 0
Imaginary circle if g2 + f2 − c < 0

The general second degree equation ax2 + 2hxy + by2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 represents circle
a h g
if < ! 0 , a = b and h =0, where < = h b f
g f c
Thus, (i) equation of circle is a second degree equation in x and y in which there is no term containing xy.
(ii) coefficient of x2 = coefficient of y2.
(iii) contains three arbitrary constants g, f and c.

Radius of circle touching X-axis = y-co-ordinate of the center = k
Radius of circle touching Y-axis = x-co-ordinate of the center = h
Radius of circle touching both axis = h = k

Position of point w.r.t. a circle: The point (x 1, y 1) w.r.t. circle S h x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0lies
 On the circle if S 1 = 0

 Inside the circle if S 1 < 0

 Outside the circle ifS 1 > 0

Length of the tangent segment from (x 1 , y 1 ) to the circle S h x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 is S1

Length of intercept made by the circle x 2 + y 2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 with

X-axis is 2 g 2 − c and with Y-axis is2 f2 − c

TWO DIMENSIONAL GEOMETRY: CONIC SECTION

Conic : A conic is the locus of a point such that the ratio of its distance from a fixed point to its distance from a
fixed straight line is constant.
(i) The fixed point is called focus.
(ii) The fixed straight line is called directrix.
(iii) The constant ratio is called eccentricity.

Focus-Directrix property: Let S be a focus, d be directrix and P(x,y) be any point on conic.
Let PM ⊥ d then the equation of the conic is given by SP = e PM . Where e is a positive constant.
(i) If e = 1, conic is parabola. (ii) If e < 1, conic is ellipse. (iii) If e > 1, conic is hyperbola.

Axis: A line passing through focus and perpandicular to directrix is called axis of the curve.

Vertex: The point at which the curve and its axis intersect each other is called vertex.

Focal distance: The distance of any point on the conic from the focus is called focal distance.

Focal chord: A chord of a conic passing through its focus is called a focal chord.

Latus rectum: The focal chord of the conic perpandicular to the axis of the conic is called latus rectum. The
half of the latus rectum is called semi-latus rectum.

General second degree equation:
The general second degree equation ax2 + 2hxy + by2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 represents
