Study Notes

Slope of Lines

The equation of a pair of straight lines is given by: y² - (m₁+ m₂) xy + m₁m₂x² = 0.
The sum of the slopes of a pair of straight lines is: m₁ + m₂ = -2h.
The difference of the slopes of a pair of straight lines is: |m₁ - m₂| = 2√h²-ab / |b|.
If the slopes are in the ratio m₁:m₂, then: (m+n)² ab = 4 h² mn.
If the slopes are in the ratio m₁:m₂ⁿ, then: (ab)^1/n+1 + (ab)^1/n+1 + 2h = 0.

Angle Between Pair of Lines

θ is the acute angle between the pair of lines.
The sine of the angle is given by: sin θ = 2√h²-ab / (a+b).
The cosine of the angle is given by: cos θ = √(a-b)² + 4h² / (a+b).
The tangent of the angle is given by: tan θ = 2√h²-ab / (a+b).
If θ = 0°, then x²-ab=0, indicating parallel lines.
If θ = 90°, then a+b=0, indicating perpendicular lines.

Types of Triangles

The general equation of a pair of straight lines is: ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0.
The equation of a line is: lx + my + n = 0.
For an equilateral triangle formed by the pair of straight lines and the line: ax²+2hxy+by² = (lx+my)²- 3 (mx - ly)².
For an isosceles triangle formed by the pair of straight lines and the line: h (l²-m²) = (a-b) lm.
For a right-angled triangle formed by the pair of straight lines and the line:
- a+b=0 (or) a²l² + 2hlm + b²m² = 0
- (lx+my)² - tan²α (mx-ly)²= 0
 - If tan² α = 3, then the triangle is equilateral.
 - If tan²α = 1, then the triangle is a right-angled isosceles triangle.
 - If tan²α<1, then the triangle is isosceles and obtuse-angled.

Area of Triangle

The area of a triangle formed by the pair of straight lines and the line is: h² √h²-ab / (l²+m²)².
For a general equation: (lx+my)² - tan²α (mx-ly)²= 0, the area of the triangle is: n² / (l²+m²)
For an equilateral triangle: n² /√3 (l²+m²) = p² / √3
- p is the perpendicular distance from (0,0) to the line: p = n / √l²+m².
For a general equation: (lx+my)² - k(mx - ly)² = 0, if k = 3, (lx+my)² - 3(mx - ly)² = 0, then the triangle is equilateral.

(α, β) is the centroid of the triangle formed by the pair of straight lines and the given line.
- α = bl-hm / 3(am²-2hlm+bl²)
- β = am-hl / 3(am²-2hlm+bl²)
(K, K_m) is the orthocentre of the triangle formed by the pair of straight lines and the given line.
- K = -n (a+b) / am² - 2hml + bl².
If (l,m) is the orthocentre, then the equation of the 3rd side is: (a+b)(lx+my) = am² - 2hlm+bl².
θ is the angle between the sides of the parallelogram.
The area of parallelogram is: (p₁ p₂) / sin θ where p₁ and p₂ are the lengths of the parallel sides.
The area of parallelogram is also given by: (c₁-c₂)(d₁-d₂) / (a₁b₂ - a₂b₁)
- Given the equations: ax₁+ by₁+c₁ = 0, ax₁+by₁+c₂ = 0
- ax₂+by₂+d₁=0, ax₂+by₂+d₂ = 0
The area of a rhombus is: ½ * d₁ * d₂, where d₁ & d₂ are the lengths of the diagonals.

No. of Lines Drawn

d is the distance from point B.
- If AB = d, then there is 1 line that can be drawn through point A.
- If AB >d, then there are 2 lines that can be drawn through point A.
- If AB < d, then there are 0 lines that can be drawn through point A.

No. of Right Angled Δ in A Circle

h is the height of the triangle and r is the radius of the circle.
- If h = r, then there are 2 right-angled triangles.
- If h<r, then there is 1 right-angled triangle.
- If h > r, then there are 0 right-angled triangles.

Angular Bisector

The equations of two lines are: a₁x + b₁y + c₁=0, a₂x + b₂y + c₂ = 0.
The equation of the angular bisector is given by: (a₁x+b₁y+c₁) / √a₁²+b₁² = (a₂x+b₂y+c₂) / √a₂²+b₂².
If c₁c₂ (a₁a₂+b₁b₂) < 0, then the origin lies in the acute angle between the lines.
If c₁c₂ (a₁a₂+b₁b₂) > 0, then the origin lies in the obtuse angle between the lines.

No. of Circles Touching All Three Lines

If the lines are parallel, then no circle can touch all three lines.
If the lines are concurrent, then one circle can touch all three lines.
If two lines are parallel, then two circles can touch all three lines.
If the lines are not concurrent and not parallel, then four circles can touch all three lines.

The general form of the equation of a pair of straight lines is: ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0.
The separate equations of the lines are:
- ax+(h+ √h²-ab) y = 0
- ax + (h-√h²-ab) y = 0

Nature of Lines

If h²-ab > 0, then the lines are real and distinct.
If h²- ab = 0, then the lines coincide.
If h²-ab < 0, then the lines are imaginary.
Given the equation of a pair of straight lines, S = ax² + 2hxy+by² = 0, and a point (x₁,y₁) which is the midpoint of the 3rd side of the triangle formed by the lines, then: ax₁ + h(xy₁+x₁y) + by₁ = ax₁² + 2hx₁y₁ + by₁².
Given that (x,y) is the centroid of the triangle formed by the pair of straight lines, and S = ax² + 2 hay + by² = 0, then:
- S₁ = 1/3 S₁₁
- ax₁ + hexy₁ + yx₁) + by₁ = 1/3 (ax₁² + 2hxiy₁+by₁²)

Intercept of Pair of Lines

The intercept of the pair of lines ax² + 2hxy + by²=0, and lx+my+n=0 is: 2 √(h²-ab)(l²+m²)/am²-2him + bl².
If aix² + 2nixy + biy² = 0, and a₂x²+2hz xy + b₂y² = 0, have one line in common, then: (aibz-azbi)² + 4 (hiaz-hza1) (hibz-habi) = 0.
If one line is perpendicular to another in the pair of lines, then: (aiaz-bib₂)² + 4 (hiaz-habı) (hibz-h2a1) = 0.

- For parallel lines: am² - 2hlm + bl² = 0.
- For perpendicular lines: al² + anim + bm²=0.

Angular Bisectors

The equation of the pair of angular bisectors is: h (x²-y²) = (a-b)xy.
The equation of the bisectors of the coordinate axes is: x²- y² = 0.
If one of the lines in ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 bisects the angle between the coordinate axes, then: (a+b)² = 4h².
