    We know that co-ordinates of

    x1 + x2
    ,
    y1 + y2
    22

    ⇒ x =
    2 + 6
    = 4
    2

    y =
    4 + 8
    = 6

  1. For what value of k, the line kx + 3y + 6 = 0, will pass through the point (2, 4).

    As the line kx + 3y + 6 = 0
    passes through (2, 4)
    ∴ k × 2 + 3 × 4 + 6 = 0
    2k + 12 + 6 = 0
    2k + 18 = 0
    2k = –18 k = –9

    Correct Option: C

    As the line kx + 3y + 6 = 0
    passes through (2, 4)
    ∴ k × 2 + 3 × 4 + 6 = 0
    2k + 12 + 6 = 0
    2k + 18 = 0
    2k = –18 k = –9



  1. In what ratio the line segment joining the points (2, 3) and (4, 6) is divided by y-axis?

    Let the co-ordinates of point be (0, y) because on y-axis, x is zero.
    Let the ratio be k : 1
    Using internal section formula, we get

    0 =
    4k + 2
    k + 1

    k =
    - 2
    4

    k =
    - 1
    2

    –ve sign shows that point divides the line segment externally.

    Correct Option: D

    Let the co-ordinates of point be (0, y) because on y-axis, x is zero.
    Let the ratio be k : 1
    Using internal section formula, we get

    0 =
    4k + 2
    k + 1

    k =
    - 2
    4

    k =
    - 1
    2

    –ve sign shows that point divides the line segment externally.


  1. What is the equation of line passes through the point (3, 2) and make an angle of 45° with the line x – 2y = 3 ?

    Let the slope of line be m
    Here,
    θ = 45°

    m2 =
    - 1
    =
    1
    - 22

    We know that,

    1 =
    2m - 1
    2 + 3

    ⇒ 2 + m = 2m – 1
    m = 3
    ∴ Equation of line be
    y – y1 = m(x – x1)
    y – 2 = 3(x – 3)
    y – 2 = 3x – 9
    3x – y – 7 = 0

    Correct Option: A

    Let the slope of line be m
    Here,
    θ = 45°

    m2 =
    - 1
    =
    1
    - 22

    We know that,

    1 =
    2m - 1
    2 + 3

    ⇒ 2 + m = 2m – 1
    m = 3
    ∴ Equation of line be
    y – y1 = m(x – x1)
    y – 2 = 3(x – 3)
    y – 2 = 3x – 9
    3x – y – 7 = 0



  1. A point R(h, k) divides a line segment between the axis in the ratio 1 : 2 what will be the equation of line ?

    Using internal section formula, we have

    h =
    1 × a + 2 × 0
    1 + 2

    ⇒a = 3h
    Similarly,
    k =
    1 × 0 + 2 × b
    1 + 2

    k =
    2b

    b =
    3k
