Question : 11
Total: 74
The slope of a line is double of the slope of another line. If tangent of the angle between them is
, find the slopes of the lines.
Solution:
Let m 1 and m 2 be the slopes of two lines.
∴ tan θ =|
|
Here tan θ =
, m 1 = m , m 2 = 2m
= |
| ⇒
= |
|
⇒ |1 +2 m 2 | = 3|m| ⇒ 2 | m | 2 – 3|m| + 1 = 0
⇒2 | m | 2 – 2|m| – |m| + 1 = 0 ⇒ (2|m| – 1) (|m| – 1) = 0
⇒ |m| =
, 1 ⇒ m = ± 1 , ±
Slope of the two lines are 1 , 2 ; - 1 , - 2 ;
, 1 ; −
, - 1
∴ tan θ =
Here tan θ =
⇒ |1 +
⇒
⇒ |m| =
Slope of the two lines are 1 , 2 ; - 1 , - 2 ;
