iv)
v)
Question 3: Put the equation to the slope intercept form and find its slope and y-intercept.
Answer:
Comparing with
Question 4: Reduce the lines to the normal form and hence find which line is nearer to the origin.
Answer:
Since , we can say that
is nearer to the origin as compared to
Question 5: Show that the origin is equidistant from the lines ;
.
Answer:
Since , the given lines
