And m and m are the slopes of the lines l and l ,

Given,
A line segment AB of length λ moves such that the points A and B remain on the periphery of a circle of radius λ,
Now taking the points on the circle of radius λ as B(λ cos θ 1, λ sin θ1 ) & A(λ cos θ2 λ sin θ2 ) and taking the point P (h, k) which divides the line
segment in AB of length λ in 2 : 3
Now plotting the diagram we get,

Now, let O be the origin and radius of circle is λ and AB = λ and using distance formula we get,
2 2
AB = λ = √(λ cos θ1 − λ cos θ2 ) + (λ sin θ1 − λ sin θ2 )

⇒ 1 = 2 − 2 cos(θ1 − θ2 )

1
⇒ cos(θ1 − θ2 )=

Now using section formula we get,

2λ cos θ1 +3λ cos θ2 2λ sin θ1 +3λ sin θ2
h =

And the centre of the locus of the point P , which divides the line segment AB in the ratio 3 : 2 is the point C(α, β),
Now let the point on the circle x 2

Now using section formula in A(1, 2) and B(4 cos θ, 4 sin θ) we get,

P( , )≡ (h, k)

5h−2 5k−4

Now squaring and adding we get,

( ) + ( ) = 1

Given,
The equations of two adjacent sides of a parallelogram ABCD be 2x − 3y = −23 and 5x + 4y = 23,
So, AB ≡ 2x − 3y = −23 and BC ≡ 5x + 4y = 23

Also given, AC ≡ 3x + 7y = 23

Solving the above lines we get, A(– 4, 5), B(– 1, 7), C(3, 2)

We know that,
Diagonal of parallelogram have same midpoint,
So AC and BD have same mid-point and let point D be (x, y),
So midpoint formula we get,
x−1 −4+3 y+7 2+5

2

2
⇒ x = 0 and 2

⇒ y = 0

Hence, point D is (0, 0)

Now Equation of BD will be 7x + y = 0
