Question
CBSEENMA10009647

If the distance between the points (4, k) and (1, 0) is 5, then what can be the possible values of k?

Solution

Let the points X (4,k) and Y(1,0)
It is given that the distance XY is 5 units.
By using the distance formula,

Question
CBSEENMA10009662

The area of a triangle is 5 sq units. Two of its vertices are (2, 1) and (3, –2). If the third vertex is (7/2, y), find the value of y.

Solution

 Let A(x1, y1)=A(2, 1), B(x2, y2)=B(3,−2) and C(x3, y3)=C(7/2,y).

Question
CBSEENMA10009672

If a≠b≠0, prove that the points (a, a2), (b, b2) (0, 0) will not be collinear.

Solution

Let A(a, a2), B(b, b2) and C(0, 0) be the coordinates of the given points.
We know that the area of a triangle having vertices (x1, y1), (x2, y2) and (x3, y3) is ∣∣12[x1(y2−y3)+x2(y3−y1)+x3(y1−y2)]∣∣ square units.
So,
Area of ∆ABC\

Since the area of the triangle formed by the points (a, a2), (b, b2) and (0, 0) is not zero, so the given points are not collinear.

Question
CBSEENMA10009676

In what ratio does the x-y-2=0 divided the line segment joining the points A(3,-1) and B(8,9)?

Solution

let t line x-y-2=0 divid t line segment in t ratio k : 1 at point C
so coordinates of C are

open parentheses fraction numerator 8 straight k plus 3 over denominator straight k plus 1 end fraction close parentheses comma open parentheses fraction numerator 9 straight k minus 1 over denominator straight k plus 1 end fraction close parentheses

C lies on x - y - 2 = o

so, subs coordinates of x,y in tis eq.
