Find the equation of the straight lines ...

Find the equation of the straight lines passing through the origin making an angle `alpha` with the straight line `y=mx+c`.

A

`(y-y_(1)) = tan (theta - alpha) (x - x_(1))`, where `tan theta = m`

B

`(y-y_(1)) = tan (theta + alpha) (x - x_(1))`, where `tan theta = m`

C

`(y-y_(1)) = tan (theta - alpha) (x + x_(1))`, where `tan theta = m`

D

`(y-y_(1)) = tan (theta + alpha) (x + x_(1))`, where `tan theta = m`

The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the straight lines passing through the origin and making an angle \(\alpha\) with the straight line \(y = mx + c\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the slope of the given line The slope of the line \(y = mx + c\) is \(m\). ### Step 2: Use the angle formula The tangent of the angle \(\alpha\) between two lines with slopes \(m\) and \(m'\) is given by the formula: \[ \tan(\alpha) = \left| \frac{m - m'}{1 + mm'} \right| \] Here, \(m'\) is the slope of the line we want to find. ### Step 3: Set up the equation From the formula, we can set up two equations because of the absolute value: 1. \(\tan(\alpha) = \frac{m - m'}{1 + mm'}\) 2. \(\tan(\alpha) = \frac{m' - m}{1 + mm'}\) ### Step 4: Solve for \(m'\) from the first equation Starting with the first equation: \[ \tan(\alpha)(1 + mm') = m - m' \] Rearranging gives: \[ \tan(\alpha) + \tan(\alpha)mm' = m - m' \] \[ m' + \tan(\alpha)mm' = m - \tan(\alpha) \] Factoring out \(m'\): \[ m'(1 + \tan(\alpha)m) = m - \tan(\alpha) \] Thus, \[ m' = \frac{m - \tan(\alpha)}{1 + \tan(\alpha)m} \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(m'\) from the second equation Now, using the second equation: \[ \tan(\alpha)(1 + mm') = m' - m \] Rearranging gives: \[ \tan(\alpha) + \tan(\alpha)mm' = m' - m \] \[ m' - \tan(\alpha)mm' = m + \tan(\alpha) \] Factoring out \(m'\): \[ m'(1 - \tan(\alpha)m) = m + \tan(\alpha) \] Thus, \[ m' = \frac{m + \tan(\alpha)}{1 - \tan(\alpha)m} \] ### Step 6: Write the equations of the lines Now we have two slopes \(m' = \frac{m - \tan(\alpha)}{1 + \tan(\alpha)m}\) and \(m' = \frac{m + \tan(\alpha)}{1 - \tan(\alpha)m}\). The equations of the lines passing through the origin are: 1. \(y = \frac{m - \tan(\alpha)}{1 + \tan(\alpha)m}x\) 2. \(y = \frac{m + \tan(\alpha)}{1 - \tan(\alpha)m}x\) ### Final Answer Thus, the equations of the straight lines passing through the origin making an angle \(\alpha\) with the line \(y = mx + c\) are: \[ y = \frac{m - \tan(\alpha)}{1 + \tan(\alpha)m}x \quad \text{and} \quad y = \frac{m + \tan(\alpha)}{1 - \tan(\alpha)m}x \] ---
