Question 1.
If the equation ax² + 5xy – 6y² + 12x + 5y + c = 0 represents a pair of perpendicular straight lines, find a and c.
Solution:
Comparing ax² + 5xy – 6y² + 12x + 5y + c = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0
We get a = a, 2h = 5, (or) h = 5/2, b = -6, 2g = 12 (or) g = 6, 2f = 5 (or) f = 5/2, c = c
Condition for pair of straight lines to be perpendicular is a + b = 0
a + (-6) = 0
a = 6
Next to find c. Condition for the given equation to represent a pair of straight lines is

Question 2.
Show that the equation 12x² – 10xy + 2y² + 14x – 5y + 2 = 0 represents a pair of straight lines and also find the separate equations of the straight lines.
Solution:
Comparing 12x² – 10xy + 2y² + 14x – 5y + 2 = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² + 2gh + 2fy + c = 0
We get a = 12, 2h = -10, (or) h = -5, b = 2, 2g = 14 (or) g = 7, 2f = -5 (or) f = −5/2, c = 2
Condition for the given equation to represent a pair of straight lines is

= 1/4 [12(16 – 25) + 5(-40 + 70) + 7(50 – 56)]
= 1/4 [12(-9) + 5(30) + 7(-6)]
= 1/4 [-108 + 150 – 42]
= 1/4 [0]
= 0
∴ The given equation represents a pair of straight lines.
Consider 12x² – 10xy + 2y² = 2[6x² – 5xy + y²] = 2[(3x – y)(2x – y)] = (6x – 2y)(2x – y)
Let the separate equations be 6x – 2y + l = 0, 2x – y + m = 0
To find l, m
Let 12x² – 10xy + 2y² + 14x – 5y + 2 = (6x – 2y + l) (2x – y + m) ……. (1)
Equating coefficient of y on both sides of (1) we get
2l + 6m = 14 (or) l + 3m = 7 ………… (2)
Equating coefficient of x on both sides of (1) we get
-l – 2m = -5 ……… (3)
(2) + (3) ⇒ m = 2
Using m = 2 in (2) we get
l + 3(2) = 7
l = 7 – 6
l = 1
∴ The separate equations are 6x – 2y + 1 = 0, 2x – y + 2 = 0.

Question 3.
Show that the pair of straight lines 4x² + 12xy + 9y² – 6x – 9y + 2 = 0 represents two parallel straight lines and also find the separate equations of the straight lines.
Solution:
The given equation is 4x² + 12xy + 9y² – 6x – 9y + 2 = 0
Here a = 4, 2h = 12, (or) h = 6 and b = 9
h² – ab = 6² – 4 × 9 = 36 – 36 = 0
∴ The given equation represents a pair of parallel straight lines
Consider 4x² + 12xy + 9y² = (2x)² + 12xy + (3y)²
= (2x)² + 2(2x)(3y) + (3y)²
= (2x + 3y)²
Here we have repeated factors.
Now consider, 4x² + 12xy + 9y² – 6x – 9y + 2 = 0
(2x + 3y)² – 3(2x + 3y) + 2 = 0
t² – 3t + 2 = 0 where t = 2x + 3y
(t – 1)(t – 2) = 0
(2x + 3y – 1) (2x + 3y – 2) = 0
∴ Separate equations are 2x + 3y – 1 = 0, 2x + 3y – 2 = 0

Question 4.
Find the angle between the pair of straight lines 3x² – 5xy – 2y² + 17x + y + 10 = 0.
Solution:
The given equation is 3x² – 5xy – 2y² + 17x + y + 10 = 0
Here a = 3, 2h = -5, b = -2
If θ is the angle between the given straight lines then
