1) Show that š„ 2 + š„š¦ − 6š¦ 2 − š„ − 8š¦ − 2 = 0 represent a line pair and calculate their angle of intersection.
2) Show that the line pair through the origin respectively perpendicular to the line pair šš„ 2 + 2āš„š¦ + šš¦ 2 = 0 is given by šš„ 2 − 2āš„š¦ + šš¦ 2 = 0.
3) The straight line šš„ + šš¦ + š = 0 cuts the distinct pair of straight lines
šš„

− š2)= šš(š − š).
4) Translate to the parallel axes through (4,-2) and hence simplify

− 128š„ + 100š¦ − 44 = 0.
5) Rotate axes for each of the following through the angle indicated.
I. š„

= 2 ; 450
II. š„š¦ + š„ + š¦ = 0 ; 450
III. 4š„
