ANGLE BETWEEN TWO LINES

-Let consider edu.uptymez.comand  edu.uptymez.comwhere Q is angle made between edu.uptymez.comand edu.uptymez.comand edu.uptymez.comis the angle of edu.uptymez.comand edu.uptymez.comis the angle of edu.uptymez.com.

    -Consider the figure below

   edu.uptymez.com

Our  intentions to find the value of edu.uptymez.comwhich always should be acute angle.

PARALLEL AND PERPENDICULAR LINES

   (a)   PARALLEL LINES

-Are the lines which never meet when they are produced

edu.uptymez.com

 Means that edu.uptymez.comis parallel to edu.uptymez.comsymbolically edu.uptymez.com//edu.uptymez.com

–        -However condition for two or more lines to be parallel state that they posses the same gradient.

b) PERPENDICULAR LINES

–        -Are the lines which intersect at right angle when they are produced.

edu.uptymez.com

Means that edu.uptymez.comis perpendicular to edu.uptymez.com

–        -Symbolically is denoted as  L1L2

–        -However the condition for two or more lines to be perpendicular states that “The product of their slopes should be equal to negative one”.

edu.uptymez.com

–        -Let consider the figure below

   
    edu.uptymez.com

edu.uptymez.com

NOTE:

1.      The equation of the line parallel to the line edu.uptymez.com= 0 passing through a certain point is of the form of edu.uptymez.com. Where  edu.uptymez.com– is constant.

2.      The equation of the line perpendicular to the line edu.uptymez.compass through a certain point is of the form of edu.uptymez.comwhen edu.uptymez.com– is constant.


3.      The calculation of K above done by substitution certain point passing through.

THE EQUATION OF PERPENDICULAR BI SECTOR

–        Let two point be A and B.

edu.uptymez.com

Where,

Line L is perpendicular bisector between point A and B.

Now our intention is to find the equation of L.

IMPORTANT STEPS

    1.   Determine the midpoint between point A and B.

    2.    Since L and edu.uptymez.comare   to each other then find slope of L.

for

edu.uptymez.com

   3.    Get equation of L as equation of perpendicular bisector of edu.uptymez.comby using edu.uptymez.comand mid point of A and B.

THE COORDINATE OF THE FOOT OF PERPENDICULAR FROM THE POINT

THE POINT TO THE LINE

–        -Our intention is to find the coordinate of the foot (x,y) which act as the point if intersection of edu.uptymez.comand edu.uptymez.com.

–        Let consider the figure below.
