Find the equations of straight lines passing through (2, -1) and making an angle of 45o with the line 6x + 5y – 8 = 0.



Answer -

Given:

The equation passesthrough (2,-1) and make an angle of 45° with the line 6x + 5y – 8 = 0

We know that theequations of two lines passing through a point x1, y1 andmaking an angle α with the given line y = mx + c are

Here, equation of thegiven line is,

6x + 5y – 8 = 0

5y = – 6x + 8

y = -6x/5 + 8/5

Comparing thisequation with y = mx + c

We get, m = -6/5

Where, x1 =2, y1 = – 1, α = 45°, m = -6/5

So, the equations ofthe required lines are

x + 11y + 9 = 0 and11x – y – 23 = 0

The equation of givenline is x + 11y + 9 = 0 and 11x – y – 23 = 0
