Explanation:
Point of intersection of $L_1 $ and $ L_2$ is $(0,1)$, should lie on $L_3 \Rightarrow \beta=-17$
Any point, say $\left(\frac{-3}{2}, 0\right)$ on $L_1$ should be equidistant from the lines $L_2 $ and $ L_3$
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow\left|\frac{\frac{-3}{2}-0+1}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2}}\right|=\left|\frac{\frac{-3 \alpha}{2}+0+17}{\sqrt{\alpha^2+(-17)^2}}\right| \\\\ & \Rightarrow (\alpha-7)(\alpha-17)=0 \end{aligned} $
For $\alpha=17, L_2 $ and $ L_3$ coincides $\Rightarrow \alpha=7$
$ \begin{aligned} \alpha^2+\beta^2-\alpha-\beta & =(7)^2+(-17)^2-7+17 \\\\ & =348 \end{aligned} $
Let the equations of two adjacent sides of a parallelogram $\mathrm{ABCD}$ be $2 x-3 y=-23$ and $5 x+4 y=23$. If the equation of its one diagonal $\mathrm{AC}$ is $3 x+7 y=23$ and the distance of A from the other diagonal is $\mathrm{d}$, then $50 \mathrm{~d}^{2}$ is equal to ____________.
Explanation:
We have, $A B C D$ is a parallelogram
Let equation of $A B$ be $2 x-3 y=-23 \ldots$ (i)
and equation of $B C$ be $5 x+4 y=23\ldots$ (ii)
Equation of $A C$ is $3 x+7 y=23 \ldots$ (iii)
Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
$x=-1$, and $y=7$
$\therefore$ Co-ordinate of $B$ is $(-1,7)$
On solving Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get
$ x=3, y=2 $
$\therefore$ Co-ordinate of $C$ is $(3,2)$
On solving Eqs. (i) and (iii), we get $x=-4$ and $y=5$
$\therefore$ Co-ordinate of $A$ is $(-4,5)$.
Let $E$ be the intersection point of diagonal co-ordinate of
$E$ is $\left(\frac{-4+3}{2}, \frac{5+2}{2}\right)$ or $\left(-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{7}{2}\right)$
$\because E$ is mid-point of $A C$
$ \begin{aligned} & \text { Equation of } B D \text { is } y-7=\left(\frac{7-\frac{7}{2}}{-1+\frac{1}{2}}\right)(x+1) \\\\ & \Rightarrow 7 x+y=0 \end{aligned} $
Distance of $A$ from diagonal $B D=\frac{|7 \times(-4)+5|}{\sqrt{7^2+1^2}}$
$ \therefore d=\frac{23}{\sqrt{50}} $
Hence, $50 d^2=(23)^2=529$
The equations of the sides AB, BC and CA of a triangle ABC are : $2x+y=0,x+py=21a,(a\pm0)$ and $x-y=3$ respectively. Let P(2, a) be the centroid of $\Delta$ABC. Then (BC)$^2$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:

$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore 4 p^{2}-21 a p+8 p+42 a-5=0\quad...(1) \end{aligned} $
And $\frac{-42 a}{1-2 p}-2+\frac{21 a-3}{p+1}=3 a$
$ \therefore 4 p^{2}-81 a p+6 a p^{2}-24 a+8 p-5=0 \quad...(2) $
From equation (1) - equation (2) we get;
$ 60 a p+66 a-6 a p^{2}=0 $
$ \begin{aligned} \because a \neq 0 \Rightarrow p^{2}-10 p-11=0 \\\\ p=-1 \text { or } 11 \Rightarrow p=11 . \end{aligned} $
When $p=11$ then $a=3$
Coordinate of $B=(-3,6)$
And coordinate of $C=(8,5)$
$\therefore B C^{2}=122$

$x+2 y-1=0$
$x+2 y-3=0$
$x+2 y+7=0$
