x1). Substituting gives y - 4 = -2(x - 3).

Q18: Correct Answer: (A)


Q13: Correct Answer: (C)
Explanation:
Explanation: A line passing through the origin with slope m has
The angle θ between two lines with slopes m1 and the equation y = mx. Here, m = 1, so the equation is y
m2 is given by tan(θ) = |(m1 - m2) / (1 + m1*m2)|. = x.
Here, it calculates to 60 degrees.

Q19: Correct Answer: (A)


Q14: Correct Answer: (B)
Explanation:
Explanation: The slope is (3 - 1) / (2 - 1) = 2. Using point-slope
Parallel lines have the same slope. The slope is 5, and form gives y - 1 = 2(x - 1), which simplifies to y = 2x
using point-slope form gives y - 2 = 5(x - 1). - 1.
