A straight line L through the origin meets the lines x+y=1 and x+y=3 at P and Q respectively.Through P and Q two straight lines L1 and L2 are drawn, parallel to 2x-y=5 and 3x+y=5 respectively. Lines L1 and L2 intersect at R. Show that the locus of R, as L varies, is a straight line.
let the eq of line L be y =mx , here m is the slope of line.. (m is variable)
point of intersection of L & x+y=1 is P & point of intersection of L & x+y=3 is Q .....
then P =( 1/m+1 , 1/m+1 ) &
Q= ( 1/m+3 , 1/m+3)
line through P is parallel to 2x-y=5 so its slope is same as that of line....
mp=2
line through Q is parallel to 3x+y=5 so its slope is same as that of line.....
mq = -3
eq of line passing through P is L1 = (y-(1/m+1) ) = (x-(1/m+1)).2 ........................1
eq of line passing through Q is L2 = (y-(1/m+3)) = (x-(1/m+3)).(-3) ...........................2
point of intersection of these lines is R (X,Y)
then after solving
X = 13/5(m+1) and Y=21/5(m+1)
locus of R is Y=21X/13 which is a straight line passing through origin
this answer is wrong. correct answer is x-3y+5=0
