Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Ex 5.4

Question 1.
Find the slope of the following straight lines.
(i) 5y – 3 = 0
(ii) 7x – \(\frac { 3 }{ 17 } \) = 0
Solution:
(i) 5y – 3 = 0
5y = 3 ⇒ y = \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 } \)
Slope = 0

(ii) 7x – \(\frac { 3 }{ 17 } \) = 0 (Comparing with y = mx + c)
7x = \(\frac { 3 }{ 17 } \)
Slope is undefined

Question 2.
Find the slope of the line which is
(i) parallel to y = 0.7x – 11
(ii) perpendicular to the line x = -11
Solution:
(i) y = 0.7x – 11
Slope = 0.7 (Comparing with y = mx + c)
(ii) Perpendicular to the line x = – 11
Slope is undefined (Since the line is intersecting the X-axis)

Question 3.
Check whether the given lines are parallel or perpendicular
(i) \(\frac { x }{ 3 } \) + \(\frac { y }{ 4 } \) + \(\frac { 1 }{ 7 } \) = 0 and \(\frac { 2x }{ 3 } \) + \(\frac { y }{ 2 } \) + \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 } \) = 0
(ii) 5x + 23y + 14 = 0 and 23x – 5x + 9 = 0
Solution:
(i) \(\frac { x }{ 3 } \) + \(\frac { y }{ 4 } \) + \(\frac { 1 }{ 7 } \) = 0 ; \(\frac { 2x }{ 3 } \) + \(\frac { y }{ 2 } \) + \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 } \) = 0
Slope of the line (m1) = \(\frac { -a }{ b } \)
= – \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) ÷ \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \) = –\(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) × \(\frac { 4 }{ 1 } \) = – \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \)
Slope of the line (m2) = – \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \) ÷ \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) = –\(\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \) × \(\frac { 2 }{ 1 } \) = – \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \)
m1 = m2 = – \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \)
∴ The two lines are parallel.

(ii) 5x + 23y + 14 = 0 and 23x – 5x + 9 = 0
Slope of the line (m1) = \(\frac { -5 }{ 23 } \)
Slope of the line (m2) = \(\frac { -23 }{ -5 } \) = \(\frac { 23 }{ 5 } \)
m1 × m2 = \(\frac { -5 }{ 23 } \) × \(\frac { 23 }{ 5 } \) = -1
∴ The two lines are perpendicular

Question 4.
If the straight lines 12y = -(p + 3)x + 12, 12x – 7y = 16 are perpendicular then find ‘p’
Solution:
Slope of the first line 12y = -(p + 3)x +12
y = \(-\frac{(p+3) x}{12}+1\) (Comparing with y = mx + c)
Slope of the second line (m1) = \(\frac { -(p+3) }{ 12 } \)
Slope of the second line 12x – 7y = 16
(m2) = \(\frac { -a }{ b } \) = \(\frac { -12 }{ -7 } \) = \(\frac { 12 }{ 7 } \)
Since the two lines are perpendicular
m1 × m2 = -1
\(\frac { -(p+3) }{ 12 } \) × \(\frac { 12 }{ 7 } \) = -1 ⇒ \(\frac { -(p+3) }{ 7 } \) = -1
-(p + 3) = -7
– p – 3 = -7 ⇒ -p = -7 + 3
-p = -4 ⇒ p = 4
The value of p = 4
