AP EAMCET · Maths · Straight Lines

For any value of \(\theta\), if the straight lines \(x \sin \theta+(1-\cos \theta) y=a \sin \theta\) and \(x \sin \theta-(1+\cos \theta) y+a \sin \theta=0\) intersect at \(P(\theta)\), then the locus of \(P(\theta)\) is a

  4. D hyperbola
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) circle

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, equations of straight lines are \(x \sin \theta+(1-\cos \theta) y=a \sin \theta\) ...(i) and \(x \sin \theta-(1+\cos \theta) y=-a \sin \theta\) Subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get…
