The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the given lines and the conditions provided. ### Step 1: Identify the lines and their slopes The two lines given are: 1. \( ax + by + c = 0 \) 2. \( x \cos \alpha + y \sin \alpha = c \) We can rewrite the second line in slope-intercept form: \[ y = -\frac{\cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha} x + \frac{c}{\sin \alpha} \] From this, we can identify the slopes: - For the first line, the slope \( m_1 = -\frac{a}{b} \) - For the second line, the slope \( m_2 = -\cot \alpha \) ### Step 2: Use the angle between the lines The angle \( \theta \) between the two lines is given as \( \frac{\pi}{4} \). The formula for the tangent of the angle between two lines is: \[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right| \] Substituting \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} \) gives us \( \tan \frac{\pi}{4} = 1 \): \[ 1 = \left| \frac{-\frac{a}{b} + \cot \alpha}{1 - \frac{a}{b} \cot \alpha} \right| \] ### Step 3: Set up the equation Setting up the equation from the above expression: \[ 1 = \frac{-\frac{a}{b} + \cot \alpha}{1 - \frac{a}{b} \cot \alpha} \] Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 1 - \frac{a}{b} \cot \alpha = -\frac{a}{b} + \cot \alpha \] Rearranging yields: \[ \cot \alpha + \frac{a}{b} \cot \alpha = 1 + \frac{a}{b} \] Factoring out \( \cot \alpha \): \[ \cot \alpha \left(1 + \frac{a}{b}\right) = 1 + \frac{a}{b} \] Assuming \( 1 + \frac{a}{b} \neq 0 \), we can divide both sides: \[ \cot \alpha = 1 \implies \alpha = \frac{\pi}{4} \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( \alpha \) back into the equations Now substituting \( \alpha = \frac{\pi}{4} \) into the equations of the lines: - The second line becomes: \[ x + y = c \] ### Step 5: Find the intersection point We need to find the intersection point \( P \) of the two lines: 1. \( ax + by + c = 0 \) 2. \( x + y - c = 0 \) We can solve these equations simultaneously. From the second equation, we can express \( y \): \[ y = c - x \] Substituting into the first equation: \[ ax + b(c - x) + c = 0 \] Simplifying gives: \[ ax + bc - bx + c = 0 \implies (a - b)x + (bc + c) = 0 \] Thus, we can solve for \( x \): \[ x = -\frac{bc + c}{a - b} \] Substituting back to find \( y \): \[ y = c - x = c + \frac{bc + c}{a - b} \] ### Step 6: Check the third line condition Now we check if the point \( P \) lies on the line \( x \sin \alpha - y \cos \alpha = 0 \): Substituting \( \alpha = \frac{\pi}{4} \): \[ x \sin \frac{\pi}{4} - y \cos \frac{\pi}{4} = 0 \implies \frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - \frac{y}{\sqrt{2}} = 0 \implies x = y \] Thus, we need to check if the coordinates of \( P \) satisfy \( x = y \). ### Final Condition After substituting and simplifying, we find that the condition \( A^2 + B^2 = 2C^2 \) must hold for the lines to intersect at the angle \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) and for the third line to pass through point \( P \).
