    Here,
    3x – 4y + 5 = 0
    ⇒  –4y = – 3x – 5

    y =
    −3
    x
    −5
    –4−4

    y =
    3
    x +
    5
    44

    Compare it with, y = mx + c we get
    m =
    3
    and c =
    5
    44

    Correct Option: C

  1. What will be the point on the xaxis, which is eduidistant from the points (7, 6) and (–3, 4)

    Let the point on x-axis be P(x, 0)

    A.T.Q
    PA = PB
    ⇒  PA2 = PB2
    (x + 3)2 + (4 – 0)2 = (x – 7)2 + (6 – 0)2
    x2 + 9 + 6x + 16 = x2 + 49 – 14x + 36
    x2 + 6x + 25 = x2 – 14x + 85
    20x = 60
    x = 3
    ∴  Point P is (3, 0)

    Correct Option: D

    Let the point on x-axis be P(x, 0)

    A.T.Q
    PA = PB
    ⇒  PA2 = PB2
    (x + 3)2 + (4 – 0)2 = (x – 7)2 + (6 – 0)2
    x2 + 9 + 6x + 16 = x2 + 49 – 14x + 36
    x2 + 6x + 25 = x2 – 14x + 85
    20x = 60
    x = 3
    ∴  Point P is (3, 0)

    Here,
    c = 2
    m = tan60° = √3
    Equation of line be,
    y = mx + c
    ⇒  y = √3x + 2.

    Correct Option: D

    Here,
    c = 2
    m = tan60° = √3
    Equation of line be,
    y = mx + c
    ⇒  y = √3x + 2.


  1. What is the equation of a line, which passes through the points (–1, 1) and (2, –4).

    Equation of required line be

    y − y1
    =
    x − x1
    y2 − y1x2 − x1

    y − 1
    =
    x + 1
    –4 − 12 + 1


    3y – 3 = –5x – 5
    5x + 3y + 2 = 0

    Correct Option: A

    Equation of required line be

    y − y1
    =
    x − x1
    y2 − y1x2 − x1

    y − 1
    =
    x + 1
    –4 − 12 + 1


    3y – 3 = –5x – 5
    5x + 3y + 2 = 0
