STRAIGHT LINES
IMPORTANT TOOLS/ TECHNIQUES / TIPS
1. DIFFERENT FORMS OF STRAIGHT LINES EQUATION
(i) If a straight line is parallel to the axis of x and is at a distance b
from the origin, its equation is y = b. In particular, equation of x-
axis is y = 0.
(ii) The equation of a straight line parallel to the axis of y at a
distance a from origin is x = a. In particular equation of y-axis is
x = 0.
(iii)The equation of a line passing through ( )
1 1
, y x and having the
slope m is ( )
1 1
x x m y y .
(iv)Straight line cutting intercepts a and b on x and y-axis respectively
is
1 +
b
y
a
x
.
(v)Straight line having the slope m and cutting the intercept c on y-
axis is
c mx y +
.
(vi)Straight line which is at a distance p from the origin and the angle
which the perpendicular makes with x-axis is

, is
p y x + sin cos
.
(vii)If a line makes an angle with positive x-axis, and passes
through ( )
1 1
, y x then its equation is
r
y y x x

sin cos
1 1
, where r is
the directed distance of any point
( ) y x m ,
from the point ( )
1 1
, y x .
Any point on this line will be
sin , cos
1 1
r y y r x x + +

3. The distance between two parallel lines
0 + + C By Ax
,
0 + + C By Ax
is equal to diference of perpendicular distances of them
from the origin, i.e.,
2 2
B A
C C
+

.
4. The equation of family of lines passing through the intersection of
two lines
0 + + C By Ax
and
0 + + C y B x A
is
( ) 0 + + + + + C y B x A k C By Ax
, where k is a parameter.
5. Let L = 0 be the equation of a line we defne:
(i) ( )
1 1
, y x L as numerical value of equation of L if we substitute the
co-ordinates of a point ( )
1 1
, y x in L (i.e.,
1 1
, y y x x
).
(ii)
( ) P L
as the numerical value of equation of L, if we put the co-
ordinates of a point P in the equation of L.
Now if
( ) ( ) 0 > Q L P L
the points P and Q lie on the same side of L = 0
and if
( ) ( ) 0 < Q L P L
then points P and Q lie on the opposite side of L =
0.
6. The ratio in which the line
0 + + C By Ax
or L = 0 divides the line
joining ( )
1 1
, y x and ( )
2 2
, y x is
( )
( )
2 2

y x L
y x L

C By Ax

+ +
+ +
. Thus if they
are on the same side of L, the ratio is negative otherwise it is positive.
7. If
0 + + C By Ax
,
0 + + C y B x A
be two lines then the combined
equation of the two bisectors bisecting the angle between them is
2 2 2 2
B A
C y B x A
B A
C By Ax

t
+
+ +
. If
0 > C C
then by taking + sign in the
above equation, we get the equation of angular bisector bisecting the
angle containing origin.
8. (i)If three lines
0 + +
i i i
C y B x A
,
( ) 3 , 2 , 1 i
are concurrent then
conversely, if D = 0 they are either concurrent or parallel.
(ii) Three pair wise unparallel lines
0 , 0
2 1
L L
and
0

L
will be
concurrent or parallel if there exists numbers p, q, r not all zero
such that
0
3 2 1
+ + rL qL pL
.
9. Change of Origin. Let Ox, Oy be the original axes and the origin O
is taken to a point (h, k) with reference to O such that axes remain
parallel to original axes. Let P be a point whose co-ordinates with
reference to O are (x, y) and with reference to O are (X, Y) then
k Y y h X x + + ,
. Note that by this transformation slope of a line
remains same. Consequently

10. Rotation of Axes. Let the axes Ox and Oy be rotated through an
angle in the counter clockwise direction such that the new axes
become x O and
y O
. Then if P has co-ordinates (x, y) with reference
to original axes and has co-ordinates ( ) y x , with reference to new
axes, we have
sin cos y x x
and
cos sin y x y +
.
Also
cos sin , sin cos y x y y x x + +
.
11. Locus. Finding the locus of a point
( ) ,
is equivalent to fnding a
relation between

and

free from arbitrary constants (parameters).


In case the point whose locus is to be found happens to be a point of
intersection of two lines (curves), the locus is simply the eliminant of
their equations. Note that for each real t, we get a point in the plane
where
2 , 1
2
+ t y t x
. But for all t the relation (which is obtained by
eliminating t) ( ) 1 2
2
+ + y x is satisfed. Therefore the locus of a moving
point whose abscissa and ordinate are functions of a real parameter is
obtained by eliminating the parameter and getting a pure relation
between x and y.
12. The general equation of second degree

+ ch bg af fgh abc
which is precisely the condition
under which G can be written as a product of two linear factors not
necessarily real. These lines will be real if

.
13. The Homogeneous equation of second degree

2 2

always represents a pair of lines passing through origin if
ab h
2
.
The angle between these lines is given by,
b a

tan these
lines will be perpendicular if a + b = 0.
14. Let
( ) 0 , y x f
be a second degree curve which is intersected by a
line at A and B. Then combined equation of OA and OB can be
obtained by making
( ) 0 , y x f
homogeneous with the help of the lines
equation.

16. Let
