Find the equation of the lines through the point (3, 2) which make an angle of 45o with the line x - 2y = 3.
Given point is (3,2)
Equation of line is : x-2y = 3
=> x-3 = 2y
=> y = x/3 - 1
Let the slope of required line is m.
Again given that slope between reqired line and x - 2y = 3
tan45 = | (1/2 - m)/(1+m/2) |
=> 1 =| (1/2 - m)/(1+m/2) |
Now
1 = (1/2 - m)/(1+m/2) and -1= (1/2 - m)/(1+m/2) (since |x| = -x and x)
=> 1+ m/2 = 1/2 - m and -(1+ m/2) = (1/2 - m)
=> m + m/2 = 1/2 -1 and -1 - m/2 = 1/2 - m
=> 3m/2 = -1/2 and m - m/2 = 1+ 1/2
=> m = -1/3 and m/2 = 3/2
=> m =-1/3 and m = 3
Case1: m = -1/3 and point is (3,2)
y - 2 = (-1/3)(x-3)
=> 3(y-2) = -x + 3
=> 3y-6 = -x + 3
=> 3y + x = 3+6
=> x + 3y = 9
Case2: m=3 and point is (3,2)
y - 2 = 3(x-3)
=> y-2 = 3x - 9
=> 3x - y = 9-2
=> 3x - y = 7
