In the standard (x,y)(x,y) coordinate plane, the set of all points equidistant from the line 3x−4y=83x - 4y = 8 and the line 5x+12y=135x + 12y = 13 consists of two perpendicular lines. What is the slope of the line in this set that has a positive slope?

  1. A
    -8
  2. B
    219\frac{2}{19}
  3. C
    47\frac{4}{7}
  4. 18\frac{1}{8}Cevap
  5. E
    8

Cevap

The slope of the line with a positive slope is 1/8.
By using the point-to-line distance formula, the equidistant relationship ∣3x−4y−8∣5=∣5x+12y−13∣13\frac{|3x - 4y - 8|}{5} = \frac{|5x + 12y - 13|}{13} yields two linear equations: 14x−112y−39=014x - 112y - 39 = 0 and 64x+8y−169=064x + 8y - 169 = 0. The slopes of these lines are 1/8 and -8, respectively. The line with the positive slope has a slope of 1/8.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Set up the distance formula from a point (x,y)(x,y) to both given lines.
The distance d1d_1 to the first line is ∣3x−4y−8∣32+(−4)2=∣3x−4y−8∣5\frac{|3x - 4y - 8|}{\sqrt{3^2 + (-4)^2}} = \frac{|3x - 4y - 8|}{5}. The distance d2d_2 to the second line is ∣5x+12y−13∣52+122=∣5x+12y−13∣13\frac{|5x + 12y - 13|}{\sqrt{5^2 + 12^2}} = \frac{|5x + 12y - 13|}{13}.
Points equidistant from both lines must satisfy d1=d2d_1 = d_2.
2
Equate the two distance expressions to represent the equidistant relationship.
∣3x−4y−8∣5=∣5x+12y−13∣13\frac{|3x - 4y - 8|}{5} = \frac{|5x + 12y - 13|}{13}
This represents the geometric condition of being equidistant from both lines.
3
Solve for Case 1 where the expressions inside the absolute values have the same sign.
13(3x−4y−8)=5(5x+12y−13)⇒39x−52y−104=25x+60y−65⇒14x−112y−39=013(3x - 4y - 8) = 5(5x + 12y - 13) \Rightarrow 39x - 52y - 104 = 25x + 60y - 65 \Rightarrow 14x - 112y - 39 = 0.
One of the two bisecting lines is found when the signs match.
4
Solve for Case 2 where the expressions inside the absolute values have opposite signs.
13(3x−4y−8)=−5(5x+12y−13)⇒39x−52y−104=−25x−60y+65⇒64x+8y−169=013(3x - 4y - 8) = -5(5x + 12y - 13) \Rightarrow 39x - 52y - 104 = -25x - 60y + 65 \Rightarrow 64x + 8y - 169 = 0.
The other bisecting line is found when the signs are opposite.
5
Find the slope of each resulting linear equation to identify the positive one.
For 14x−112y−39=014x - 112y - 39 = 0, the slope is −14−112=18-\frac{14}{-112} = \frac{1}{8}. For 64x+8y−169=064x + 8y - 169 = 0, the slope is −648=−8-\frac{64}{8} = -8.
The slope of a line in the standard form Ax+By+C=0Ax + By + C = 0 is given by −AB-\frac{A}{B}.

The set of points equidistant from two intersecting lines forms two perpendicular lines representing the angle bisectors of the original lines, which can be determined by equating their point-to-line distance formulas.

Instead of using the distance formula, one could find the angle of inclination of each line using trigonometry: θ1=arctan⁡(3/4)\theta_1 = \arctan(3/4) and θ2=arctan⁡(−5/12)\theta_2 = \arctan(-5/12). The angle bisectors have inclinations at the average of these two angles plus or minus 90 degrees. Converting back to slopes using m=tan⁡(θ)m = \tan(\theta) yields the same results.
