Hello There!

Priya has a piece of string which is 5/6 yard long. She cuts 3/5 of string for a project. What is the length of the string she has left?

Left is a key word for subtract.

The equation is 5/6 - 3/5 = ?

                                                          Solving

                          The LCD ( Least Common Denominator ) is 30

                                                        5 x 5                  3 x 6
                                                    ---------------    -      -------------
                                                        6 x 5                   5 x 6


                                                            25              18              7
                                                         --------    -    --------  =    -------
                                                           30              30              30
                                                        [ The denominator stays the same]

                  So, 5/6 - 3/5 = 7/30

Hope this helped!

Find the equation of the locus of a point that moves so that its distance from the line 12x-5y-1=0 is always 1 unit.
leonid [27]

<u>Answer-</u>

The equations of the locus of a point that moves so that its distance from the line 12x-5y-1=0 is always 1 unit are

12x-5y+14=0 \\ 12x-5y-14=0

<u>Solution-</u>

Let a point which is 1 unit away from the line 12x-5y-1=0 is (h, k)

The applying the distance formula,

\Rightarrow \left | \frac{12h-5k-1}{\sqrt{12^2+5^2}} \right |=1

\Rightarrow \left | \frac{12h-5k-1}{\sqrt{169}} \right |=1

\Rightarrow \left | \frac{12h-5k-1}{13} \right |=1

\Rightarrow 12h-5k-1=\pm 13

\Rightarrow 12h-5k=\pm 14

\Rightarrow 12h-5k=14,\ 12h-5k=-14

\Rightarrow 12h-5k-14=0,\ 12h-5k+14=0

\Rightarrow 12x-5y-14=0,\ 12x-5y+14=0

Two equations are formed because one will be upper from the the given line and other will be below it.
