1. Straight lines
1.1 A line is drawn through a variable point on the ellipse
?? ?? ?? ?? +
?? ?? ?? ?? =?? ,?? =?? to meet
fixed lines ?? =???? , ?? =?? and ?? =-???? ,?? =-?? . Find the locus of the line.
(2009 : 12 Marks)
Solution:
Approach: Use general equation of line intersecting two lines given in planar form.
Given fixed lines are
?? -???? =0,?? -0=0 (??)
?? +???? =0,?? +?? =0 (???? )
General equation of line intersecting both
(?? -???? )+?? 1
(?? -?? )=0=(?? +???? )+?? 2

If it meets ellipse we eliminate ?? 1

1.2 Prove that two of the straight lines represented by the equation
?? ?? +?? ?? ?? ?? +???? ?? ?? +?? ?? =??

(2012 : 12 Marks)
Solution:
The given equation is a homogeneous equation of third degree and hence it represents
three straight lines through the origin.
Let ?? =???? be any of these lines.
Replacing
