The points (k + 1, 1), (2k + 1, 3) and (2k + 2, 2k) are collinear if
  • a)
    k = - 1, 2
  • b)
  • c)
    k = 2, 1
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Kiran Mehta answered
∵ Points are collinear.
∴ (k + 1) (3 - 2k) + (2k, + 1) (2k - 1) + (2k + 2) (1 - 3) = 0
⇒ 3k+3 - 2k2 - 2k + 4k- 1 - 4k - 4 = 0 ⇒ 2k2 - 3k - 2 = 0
⇒ 2k- 4k + k - 2 = 0
⇒ 2k(k - 2) + 1(k - 2) = 0
⇒ (2k + 1) (k - 2) = 0

√(x1-x2)²+(y1-y2)²,
=√(-6-0)²+(8-0)²,
=√(36)+(64),
=√100=10

  • c)
    4

Since both these points lie on a straight line i.e x axis, distance will be the difference between the respective y coordinates
(0,-2) & (0,6)  =>  6-(-2)) = 6+2 = 8

  • b)
    2
  • c)
    -1
  • d)
    1
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Naina Sharma answered
Let us consider the points as
A = (2, -2)
B = (-1, x)
AB = 5 units
Using the distance formula
AB2 = (x₂ - x₁)2 + (y₂ - y₁)2
Substituting the values
52 = (-1 - 2)2 + (x + 2)2
25 = (-3)2 + (x + 2)2
Using the algebraic identity
(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
25 = 9 + x2 + 4 + 4x
By further calculation
25 = x2 + 4x + 13
x2 + 4x + 13 - 25 = 0
x2 + 4x - 12 = 0
By splitting the middle term
x2 + 6x - 2x - 12 = 0
Taking out the common terms
x(x + 6) - 2(x + 6) = 0
(x + 6)(x - 2) = 0
So we get
x + 6 = 0
x = -6
And
x - 2 = 0
x = 2

The graph of the equation x = 3 is:​
  • a)
    a point
  • b)
    straight line parallel to y axis
  • c)
    straight line passing through the origin
  • d)
    straight line parallel to x axis
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Naina Sharma answered
x=3 is fixed. This means the value of x is constant. So y can vary but x has only one value. For example (3,0),(3,2),(3,5) etc. So the line drawn will be parallel to y axis as y can vary.

The ratio in which the line 2x+y-4 = 0 divides the line segment joining A(2,-2) and B(3,7) is​
  • a)
    4:3
  • b)
    1:9
  • c)
    8:9
  • d)
    2:9
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Mohini iyer answered
To find the ratio in which the line 2x + y - 4 = 0 divides the line segment AB, we can use the section formula.

Section Formula: The coordinates of the point P(x,y) that divides the line segment joining two points A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂) in the ratio m:n are given by:

x = (mx₂ + nx₁) / (m + n)
y = (my₂ + ny₁) / (m + n)

Given that A(2,-2) and B(3,7), let's find the coordinates of the point where the line 2x + y - 4 = 0 intersects AB.

Step 1: Find the slope of the line 2x + y - 4 = 0
To find the slope, we can rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form:
y = -2x + 4

Comparing this with the standard form y = mx + c, we can see that the slope is -2.

Step 2: Find the equation of the line passing through A(2,-2) with slope -2
Using the point-slope form y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), we have:
y - (-2) = -2(x - 2)
y + 2 = -2x + 4
y = -2x + 2

Step 3: Find the coordinates of the point of intersection of the lines 2x + y - 4 = 0 and y = -2x + 2
To find the point of intersection, we can solve the simultaneous equations:
2x + y - 4 = 0 ...(1)
y = -2x + 2 ...(2)

Substituting equation (2) into equation (1), we have:
2x + (-2x + 2) - 4 = 0
0x - 2 = 2
-2 = 2

Since this is not a true statement, the lines are parallel and do not intersect. Therefore, the ratio in which the line 2x + y - 4 = 0 divides the line segment AB cannot be determined.

Hence, the correct answer is option 'D' (Cannot be determined).

The point on x-axis which is equidistant from (5,9) and (-4,6) is​
  • a)
    (3,0)
  • b)
    (1,0)
  • c)
    (2,0)
  • d)
    (4,1)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Vikas Kumar answered
for 2 points to be equidistant to 2 another the length of the line drawn to them should the first two should be equal to the next two.
let that point be (x,0) (y=0 as it leis on the x axis)
using distance formula-
root of ((x+4)2 +(0-6)2)=root of ((x-5)2 +(0-9)2)
squaring both sides and opening the brackets we get-
x2 + 8x + 16 + 36 = x2 - 10x + 25 +81
bring variables to one side and constants to another we get-
18x = 54
x = 54/18 = 3
therefore x = 3 and y =0 (since it leis in the x axis)

Consider A (0,0),B (1,0),C (0,1)

=>AB=root(X2-X1)^2+(Y2-Y1)^2

=>AB=root (1-0)^2+(1-0)^2

=>AB=1

similarly,

BC=root2

and

AC=1

Perimeter=AB+BC+AC

=1+root1+1
=2+root2

If the four points (0,-1), (6,7),(-2,3) and (8,3) are the vertices of a rectangle, then its area is​

  • b)
    12 sq. units
  • c)
    10 sq. units
  • d)
    13 sq. units
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Arun Sharma answered
Let A(0-1), B(6,7), C(-2,3) and D(8,3) be the given points. Then
∴ AD = BC and AC = BD
So, ADBC is a parallelogram
Now 
Clearly, AB= AD+ DBand CD= CB+ BD2
Hence, ADBC is a rectangle.
Now
,Area of rectangle ADBC = AD × DB =(4√5​ × 2√5​)sq. units = 40sq. units

The condition that the point (x,y) may lie on the line joining (3,4) and (-5,-6) is​
  • a)
    -5x+4y+1=0
  • b)
    -5x-4y+1=0
  • c)
    5x+4y+1=0
  • d)
    5x-4y+1=0
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Since the point P(x,y) lies on the line joining A(3,4) and B(-5,-6), 

Therefore, points P, A and B are collinear points.

So, area of triangle PAB = 0                                         

Therefore, we have: 

10x-18-3y-5y+20=0

10x-8y+2=0

5x-4y+1=0 , which is the required condition. 

The ratio in which the x-axis divides the segment joining A(3,6) and B(12,-3) is​
  • a)
    1:2
  • b)
    -2:1
  • c)
    2:1
  • d)
    -1:-1
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Given: A(3,6), B(12,-3)

To find: The ratio in which the x-axis divides the segment joining A and B

Solution:

Step 1: Plot the given points A and B on the graph.

Step 2: Draw a line parallel to the y-axis passing through A and B.

Step 3: Let O be the point where the line intersects the x-axis.

Step 4: Find the distance OA and OB.

OA = 3 (since the point A lies on the x-axis)

OB = distance between points B and O

Using distance formula, OB = √[(12-0)² + (-3-0)²] = √(144+9) = √153

Step 5: Find the ratio in which point O divides the line segment AB.

Let the ratio be k:1

By section formula, we have:

x-coordinate of O = (k * x-coordinate of B + 1 * x-coordinate of A)/(k+1)

Since the point O lies on the x-axis, its y-coordinate is 0.

Therefore, we have:

(k * 12 + 3)/(k+1) = 0

k * 12 + 3 = 0

k = -3/12 = -1/4

The ratio in which the x-axis divides the segment joining A and B is 1: (-1/4) = 4: (-1)

Since the ratio is negative, we can write it as -4:1.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 2:1.

If A (1,2) , B (4,y), c (x,6) and D (3,5) are the vertices of a parallelogram taken in order then the values of x and y are:​
  • a)
    6 and 3
  • b)
    5 and 2
  • c)
    2 and 3
  • d)
    6 and 5
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

**Given:**
- The vertices of a parallelogram are A (1,2) , B (4,y), c (x,6) and D (3,5) taken in order.

**To find:**
- The values of x and y.

**Solution:**
- Let's first draw the parallelogram and label its sides.
- We know that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length and parallel to each other.
- Therefore, we can use the distance formula to find the length of the sides and equate them.
- AB = CD and BC = AD.
- AB = sqrt((4-1)^2 + (y-2)^2)
- CD = sqrt((x-3)^2 + (5-6)^2)
- Equating AB and CD, we get:
- sqrt((4-1)^2 + (y-2)^2) = sqrt((x-3)^2 + (5-6)^2)
- (4-1)^2 + (y-2)^2 = (x-3)^2 + (5-6)^2
- (y-2)^2 - (x-3)^2 = 2
- (y-2+x-3)(y-2-x+3) = 2
- (y+x-5)(-y-x+5) = 2
- Similarly, we can find the length of BC and AD and equate them.
- BC = sqrt((x-4)^2 + (6-y)^2)
- AD = sqrt((3-1)^2 + (5-2)^2)
- Equating BC and AD, we get:
- sqrt((x-4)^2 + (6-y)^2) = sqrt(2^2 + 3^2)
- (x-4)^2 + (6-y)^2 = 13
- Now we have two equations with two variables (x and y).
- Solving them simultaneously, we get x = 6 and y = 3.

**Answer:**
- The values of x and y are 6 and 3 respectively.
- Therefore, option A is correct.

Sarika kumar answered
Given: Points A(-2,8) and B(-6,-4)

To find: Mid-point of the line segment joining A and B

Formula for Mid-point:

Mid-point = [(x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2]

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

Calculation:

Using the formula for Mid-point, we get:

Mid-point = [(-2-6)/2, (8-4)/2]

Mid-point = [-4, 2]

Therefore, the mid-point of the line segment joining A and B is (-4,2).

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
