Question 4.
Question 5.
A(2, 4) and B(5, 8), find the equation of the
∴ 6x + 8y- 69 = 13
∴ 6x + 8y – 82 = 0
∴ 3x + 4y – 41 = 0
∴ The required equation of locus is 3x + 4y- 41 = 0.
Question 6.

∠APB = 90°
∴ ΔAPB is a right angled triangle,
By Pythagoras theorem,
Question 7.
If the origin is shifted to the point 0′(2, 3), the axes remaining parallel to the original axes, find the new co-ordinates of the points
i. A(1, 3) ii. B(2,5)
Solution:
Origin is shifted to (2, 3) = (h, k)
Let the new co-ordinates be (X, Y).
x = X + handy = Y + k
x = X + 2 andy = Y + 3 …(i)
i. Given, A(x, y) = A( 1, 3)
x = X + 2 andy = Y + 3 …[From(i)]
∴ 1 = X + 2 and 3 = Y + 3 X = – 1 and Y = 0
∴ The new co-ordinates of point A are (- 1,0).
ii. Given, B(x, y) = B(2, 5)
x = X + 2 and y = Y + 3 …[From(i)]
∴ 2 = X + 2 and 5 = Y + 3
∴ X = 0 and Y = 2
∴ The new co-ordinates of point B are (0, 2).
Question 8.
If the origin is shifted to the point O'(1, 3), the axes remaining parallel to the original axes, find the old co-ordinates of the points
i. C(5,4) ii. D(3,3)
Solution:
Origin is shifted to (1,3) = (h, k)
Let the new co-ordinates be (X, Y).
x = X + h andy = Y + k
∴ x = X+1 andy = Y + 3 …(i)
i. Given, C(X, Y) = C(5, 4)
x = X +1 andy = Y + 3 …[From(i)]
∴ x = 5 + 1 = 6 andy = 4 + 3 = 7
∴ The old co-ordinates of point C are (6, 7).
ii. Given, D(X, Y) = D(3, 3)
x = X + 1 andy = Y + 3 …[From(i)]
∴ x = 3 + 1 = 4 and y = 3 + 3 = 6
∴ The old co-ordinates of point D are (4, 6).
Question 9.
If the co-ordinates A(5, 14) change to B(8, 3) by shift of origin, find the co-ordinates of the point, where the origin is shifted.
Solution:
Let the origin be shifted to (h, k).
Given, A(x, y) = A(5,14), B(X, Y) = B(8, 3)
Since x = X + h andy = Y + k,
5 = 8 + hand 14 = 3 + k ,
∴ h = – 3 and k = 11
The co-ordinates of the point, where the origin is shifted are (- 3, 11).
Question 10.
Obtain the new equations of the following loci if the origin is shifted to the point 0′(2,2), the direction of axes remaining the same:
i. 3x-y + 2 = 0
11. x2+y2-3x = 7
iii. xy – 2x – 2y + 4 = 0
iv. y2 – 4x – 4y + 12 = 0
Solution:
Given, (h,k) = (2,2)
Let (X, Y) be the new co-ordinates of the point (x,y).
∴ x = X + handy = Y + k
∴ x = X + 2 andy = Y + 2
i. Substituting the values of x and y in the equation 3x -y + 2 = 0, we get
3(X + 2) – (Y + 2) + 2 = 0
∴ 3X + 6-Y-2 + 2 = 0
∴ 3 X – Y + 6 = 0, which is the new equation of locus.
ii. Substituting the values of x and y in the equation
equation of locus.
iii; Substituting the values of x and y in the equation xy – 2x – 2y + 4 = 0, we get
(X + 2) (Y + 2) – 2(X + 2) – 2(Y + 2) + 4 = 0
∴ XY + 2X + 2Y + 4 – 2X – 4-2Y- 4 + 4 = 0
∴ XY = 0, which is the new equation of locus.
