In what ratio does the point divides the line segment joining the points P(2, -2) and Q(3, 7)? Also find the value of y.
The coordinates of the point P dividing the line segment joining the points A(1, 3) and B(4, 6) in the ratio 2 : 1 are
( 2, 4 )
( 3, 5 )
( 4, 2 )
( 5, 3 )
If the coordinates of the one end of a diameter of a circle are (2, 3) and the coordinates of its centre are (-2, 5), then the coordinates of the other end of the diameter are:
( -6, 7)
( -6, -7)
( 6,7)
( -6, -7)
A.
( -6, 7)
Let the coordinates of the other end of the diameter be (x,y).
We know that the centre is the midpoint of the diameter. So, O(-2, 5 )
is the midpoint of the diameter AB. The coordinates of the point A and B are (2,3) and (x,y) respectively.
Using midpoint formula, we have,
Hence, the coordinates of the other end of the diameter are ( -6,7).
If a point A(0, 2) is equidistant from the points B(3, p) and C(p, 5) then find the value of p.
A point P divides the line segment joining the points A(3,-5) and B(-4, 8) such that . If P lies on the line x + y = 0, then find the value of K.
If the vertices of a triangle are (1, -3), (4, p) and (-9, 7) and its area is 15 sq. units, find the value (s) of p.
