The equation of straight line passing through the point (1, -2) and parallel to the line y = 5x - 2 is1. \(\rm (y + 2) = 5 (x +1)\)2. \(\rm (y + 2) = 5 (x -1)\)3. \(\rm (y + 2) = \frac 1 5 (x -1)\)4. None of these |
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : \(\rm (y + 2) = 5 (x -1)\) Concept: The equation of the straight line passing through the point \(\rm (x_1, y_1)\) is given by, \(\rm (y - y_1) = m (x -x_1)\), where m is the slope of the line. Note: The slope of the parallel lines are equal
Calculations: The equation of straight line passing through the point \(\rm (x_1, y_1)\) is given by, \(\rm (y - y_1) = m (x -x_1)\), where m is slope of the line. The equation of straight line passing through the point (1, -2) is given by, \(\rm (y + 2) = m (x -1)\) ....(1) The equation of straight line passing through the point (1, -2) and parallel to the line y = 5x - 2 ⇒ Slope of the line y = 5x - 2 is m = 5. The slope of the parallel lines are equal. So slope of the required line is m = 5 Equation (1) becomes ⇒ \(\rm (y + 2) = 5 (x -1)\) |
