Q2: Find a relation between x and y such that the point P(x, y) is equidistant from the points A(7, 1) and B(3, 5).     (2024)

Class 10 Maths Previous Year Questions - Coordinate Geometry  View Answer

Ans:
Since, P(x, y) is equidistant from A(7, 1) and B(3, 5)
So, PA = PB
⇒ PA2 = PB2
⇒ (x – 7)2 + (y – 1)2 = (x – 3)2 + (y – 5)2
⇒ x2 + 49 – 14x + y2 + 1 – 2y = x2 + 9 – 6x + y2 + 25 – 10y
⇒ 6x – 14x + 50 – 34 + 10y – 2y = 0
⇒ – 8x + 8y + 16 = 0
⇒ 8x – 8y – 16 = 0
⇒ 8(x – y – 2) = 0
⇒ x – y – 2 = 0
⇒ x – y = 2


Q3: Points A(–1, y) and B(5, 7) lie on a circle with centre O(2, –3y) such that AB is a diameter of the circle. Find the value of y. Also, find the radius of the circle.      (2024)

Class 10 Maths Previous Year Questions - Coordinate Geometry  View Answer

Ans: A (– 1, y); B(5, 7)
Since, AB is a diameter of circle and O is the centre of the circle.
OA = OB i.e., O divides AB in 1 : 1
So m1 : m2 = 1 : 1
So Class 10 Maths Previous Year Questions - Coordinate Geometry
Class 10 Maths Previous Year Questions - Coordinate GeometryClass 10 Maths Previous Year Questions - Coordinate Geometry
⇒ – 6y = y + 7
⇒ – 7y = 7
⇒ y = – 1
Point O = (2, 3), A = (–1, – 1)
Now,

Q4: Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points (5, 3) and (–1, 6) is divided by Y-axis.   (2024)

Class 10 Maths Previous Year Questions - Coordinate Geometry  View Answer

Ans:
If y-axis divides points (5, 3) and (–1, 6) then coordinate of that point will be (0, y). Let P(0, y) divides A(5, 3) and B(–1, 6) in k : 1.
m1 : m2 = k : 1
Class 10 Maths Previous Year Questions - Coordinate Geometry
⇒ 0 × (k + 1) = – k + 5
⇒ 0 = – k + 5
⇒ k = 5
So, m1 : m2 = 5 : 1

FAQs on Class 10 Maths Previous Year Questions - Coordinate Geometry

1. What are the key concepts of Coordinate Geometry for Class 10?
Ans.The key concepts of Coordinate Geometry for Class 10 include the Cartesian coordinate system, distance formula, section formula, mid-point formula, and the concept of slopes of lines. Understanding how to plot points, find distances between them, and determine the coordinates of points that divide a segment in a given ratio is crucial.
2. How do you find the distance between two points in Coordinate Geometry?
Ans.To find the distance between two points \( A(x_1, y_1) \) and \( B(x_2, y_2) \), you can use the distance formula: \[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \] This formula derives from the Pythagorean theorem and is essential for solving various problems in Coordinate Geometry.
3. What is the section formula in Coordinate Geometry?
Ans.The section formula is used to find the coordinates of a point that divides a line segment into a given ratio. If a point \( P(x, y) \) divides the line segment joining points \( A(x_1, y_1) \) and \( B(x_2, y_2) \) in the ratio \( m:n \), then the coordinates of point \( P \) are given by: \[ P\left(\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n}\right) \]
4. How can you determine the slope of a line in Coordinate Geometry?
Ans.The slope of a line passing through two points \( A(x_1, y_1) \) and \( B(x_2, y_2) \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{slope} (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \] The slope indicates the steepness of the line and is a fundamental concept in understanding linear equations.
5. Can you explain the mid-point formula in Coordinate Geometry?
Ans.The mid-point formula is used to find the midpoint of a line segment between two points \( A(x_1, y_1) \) and \( B(x_2, y_2) \). The coordinates of the midpoint \( M \) are given by: \[ M\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right) \] This formula is useful in various applications, including finding the center of a line segment in geometric problems.
