Find the equation of any one straight line passing through the point (4, -1) and making an angle of 45° with the line 2x - 3y = 5.
The required straight line pass through the point (4, -1), so, we have, (y - y1) = m1(x - x1) or, y + 1 = m1(x - 4) --- (i)
Also, the required line makes an angle of θ = 45° with the line 2x - 3y = 5 whose slope,
m2 = - = .
So, the angles between these lines is given by,
tanθ = ±
or, tan45° = ±
or, 1 = ±
or, 1
= ±
or, 3 + 2m1 = ±3m1 - 2
Taking positive sign,
3 + 2m1 = 3m1 - 2
so, m1 = 5
Using its value at (i),
y + 1 = 5(x - 4)
so, 5x - y - 21 = 0 --- (A)
Taking negative sign,
3 + 2m1 = -(3m1 - 2)
or, 5m1 = -1
so, m1 = -
Using its value at (i),
y + 1 = -(x - 4)
or, 5y + 5 = -x + 4
so, x + 5y + 1 = 0 --- (B)
Hence, from (A) and (B), 5x - y - 21 = 0 and x + 5y + 1 = 0 are required equations.
