Question 1.
 Find the locus of P, if for all values of a , the coordinates of a moving point P is
 (i) (9 cos α, 9 sin α)
 (ii) (9 cos α, 6 sin α)
 Answer:
 (i) (9 cos α, 9 sin α)
 Let P (h , k) be any point on the required path. Then by the given data we have h = 9 cos α, k = 9 sin α
 
 The locus of P (h , k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
 ∴ The required locus becomes x2 + y2 = 81

(ii) ( 9 cos α, 6 sin α)
 Let P (h, k) be any point on the required path. Then by the given data we have h = 9 cos α, k = 6 sin α
 
 The locus of p(h , k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y
 ∴ The required locus is \(\frac{x^{2}}{81}+\frac{y^{2}}{36}\) = 1
Question 2.

 (i) two units from the x-axis
 (ii) three units from the y-axis.

 (i) Two units from x-axis:
 
 Let P (h, k) be any point on the required path. From the given data, we have k = 2
 The locus of P (h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
 ∴ The required locus is y = 2
(ii) Three units from y-axis:
 
 Let (h, k) be any point on the required path. From the given data, we have h = 3.
 The locus of P (h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.

Question 4.
 Find the values of k and b. If the points P(-3, 1) and Q (2, b) lie on the locus of x2 – 5x + ky = 0
 Answer:
 Given P (-3, 1) lie on x2 – 5x + ky = 0
 ⇒ (-3)2 – 5(-3) + k(1) = 0
 9 + 15 + k = 0 ⇒ k = -24
 Q (2, b) lie on x2 – 5x + ky = 0
 (2)2 – 5(2) + k(b) = 0 ⇒ 4 – 5(2) – 24b = 0

Question 5.
 A straight rod of length 8 units slides with its ends A and B always on the x and y axes respectively, then find the locus of the midpoint of the line segment AB.
 Answer:
 Given A and B are the ends of the straight rod of length 8 unit on the x and y-axes. Let A be (a, 0) and B (0, b).
 
 Let M (h, k) be the midpoint of AB (h,k) =
 
 In the right-angled ∆ OAB
 AB2 = OA2 + OB2
 82 = a2 + b2
 64 = (2h)2 + (2k)
 64 = 4h2 + 4k2
 h2 + k2 = \(\frac{64}{4}\) = 16
 The locus of M (h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y
 ∴ The required locus is x2 + y2 = 16
Question 6.
 Find the equation of the locus of a point such that the sum of the squares of the distance from the points (3, 5), (1, -1) is equal to 20.
 Answer:
 Let P (h, k) be the moving point
 Let the given point be A (3, 5) and B (1, -1)
 We are given PA2 + PB2 = 20
 ⇒ (h – 3)2 + (k – 5)2 + (h – 1)2 + (k + 1)2 = 20
 ⇒ h2 – 6h + 9 + k2 – 10k + 25 + h2 – 2h + 1 + k2 + 2k + 1 = 20
 (i.e.) 2h2 + 2k2 – 8h – 8k + 36 – 20 = 0
 2h2 + 2k2 – 8h – 8k + 16 = 0
 (÷ by 2 ) h2 + k2 – 4h – 4k + 8 = 0
 So the locus of P is x2 + y2 – 4x – 4y + 8 = 0

Question 7.
 Find the equation of the locus of the point P such that the line segment AB, joining the points A(1 ,-6) and B(4 , – 2) subtends a right angle at P.
 Answer:
 
 Given A (1, – 6) and B (4, – 2).
 Let P (h, k) be a point such that the line segment AB subtends a right angle at P.
 ∴ ∆ APB is a right-angled triangle.
 AB2 = AP2 + BP2 ………… (1)
 AB2 = (4 – 1)2 + (- 2 + 6)2
 AB2 = 32 + 42 = 9 + 16 = 25
 AP2 = (h – 1)2 + (k + 6)2
 BP2 = (h – 4)2 + (k + 2)2
 (1) ⇒
 25 = (h – 1)2 + (k + 6)2 + (h – 4)2 + (k + 2)2
 25 = h2 – 2h + 1 + k2 + 12k + 36 + h2 – 8h + 16 + k2 + 4k + 4
 25 = 2h2 + 2k2 – 10h + 16k + 57
 2h2 + 2k2 – 10h + 16k + 57 – 25 = 0
 2h2 + 2k2 – 10h + 16k + 32 = 0
 h2 + k2 – 5h + 8k + 16 =0
 The locus of P (h , k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
 ∴ The required locus is x2 + y2 – 5x + 8y + 16 = 0
Question 8.
 If O is origin and R is a variable point on y2 = 4x, then find the equation of the locus of the mid-point of segment OR.
 Answer:
 
 Let the variable point R be (x, y). Let M (h, k) be the midpoint of R.
 
 But R(x , y) is a point on y2 = 4x
 ∴ (2k)2 = 4(2h)
 4k2 = 8h
 k2 = 2h
 The locus of M (h , k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
 ∴ The required locus is y2 = 2x

 Answer:
 Let the moving point P be (h, k)
 By the given data we have
 
 
 The locus of P ( h , k ) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y
 ∴ The required locus is \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}\) = 1
 b2 x2 – a2 y2 = a2 b2
Question 10.
 If P (2, – 7) is given point and Q is a point on 2x2 + 9y2 = 18 then find the equations of the locus of the midpoint of PQ.
 Answer:
 Given P is (2, -7) and let Q be (x, y)
 Given that Q is a point on 2x2 + 9y2 = 18
 Let M (h, k) be the midpoint of PQ
 
 2h = 2 + x ,                   2k = – 7 + y
 x = 2h – 2,                     y = 2k + 7
 But Q(x, y) is a point on 2x2 + 9y2 = 18
 ∴ 2 (2h – 2)2 + 9 (2k + 7)2 = 18
 2 [4h2 – 8h + 4] + 9 [4k2 + 28k + 49] = 18
 8h2 – 16h + 8 + 36k2 + 252k + 441 = 18
 8h2 + 36k2 – 16h + 252k + 449 = 18
 8h2 + 36k2 – 16h + 252k +431 =0
 The locus of M ( h , k ) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
 ∴ The required locus is
 8x2 + 36y2 – 16x + 252y + 431 = 0

 The point P ( h, k ) divides the line joining the points R(x, 0) and Q (0, y) in the ratio b : a
 
 ![]()
 Substituting in equation (1), we have
 
 The locus of P (h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
 ∴ The required locus is \(\frac{x^{2}}{\mathrm{a}^{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{y}^{2}}{\mathrm{~b}^{2}}\) = 1
Question 12.
 If the points P (6, 2) and Q (- 2, 1 ) and R are the vertices of a ∆PQR and R is the point on the locus y = x2 – 3x + 4 then find the equation of the locus of the centroid of ∆PQR.
 Answer:
 Given P (6, 2), Q (-2 , 1), R (a, b) are the vertices of ∆ PQR where R (a, b) lies on y = x2 – 3x + 4
 ∴ b = a2 – 3a + 4 (1)
 Let the centroid of ∆ PQR be G (h, k)
 
 Substituting in equation (1) we have
 (1) ⇒ 3k – 3 = (3h – 4)2 – 3(3h – 4) + 4
 3k – 3 = 9h2 – 24h + 16 – 9h + 12 + 4
 9h2 – 33h + 32 – 3k + 3 = 0
 9h2 – 33h – 3k + 35 = 0
 The locus of G (h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
 ∴ The required locus is 9x2 – 33x – 3y + 35 = 0

Question 13.
 If Q is a point on the locus of x2 + y2 + 4x – 3y +7 = 0, then find the equation of locus of P which divides segment OQ externally in the ratio 3 :4 where O is origin.
 Answer:
 Let Q be (a, b) lying on the locus
 x2 + y2 + 4x – 3y + 7 = 0
 ∴ a2 + b2 + 4a – 3b + 7 = 0
 Let the movable point P be (h , k)
 Given P divides OQ externally in the ratio 3 : 4
 
 Substituting in equation (1) we have
 
 h2 + k2 – 12h + 9k + 63 = 0
 The locus of P(h, k) is obtained by replacing h by x and k by y.
 ∴ The required locus is
 x2 + y2 – 12x + 9y + 63 = 0
Question 14.

 Answer:
 Given that the required pointis3unitsfrom x-axis and 5 units from the point P (5, 1). Let Q (h, 3) and K (h,- 3) be the required points.
 
 ∴ PQ = 5
 \(\sqrt{(5-\mathrm{h})^{2}+(1-3)^{2}}\) = 5
 (5 – h)2 + (- 2)2 = 25
 25 – 10h + h2 + 4 = 25
 h2 – 10h + 29 – 25 = 0
 h2 – 10h + 4 = 0
 
 PR = 5

 (5 – k)2 + 42 = 25
 25 – 10k + k2 + 16 = 25
 k2 – 10k + 16 = 0
 
 
 ∴ R (8, – 3), (2, – 3)

 The sum of the distance of a moving point from the points (4, 0) and (- 4, 0) is always 10 units. Find the equation to the locus of the moving point.
 Answer:
 Let A be (4, 0) and B be (-4, 0). Let the moving point be p(h, k)
 Given PA + PB = 10
 
 16h2 + 200h + 625 = 25[h2 + 8h + 16 + k2]
 16h2 + 200h + 625 = 25h2 + 200h + 400 + 25k2
 9h2 + 26k2 = 225
