Question 30: Find the coordinates of the points which divide the line segment joining the points (−4, 0) and (0, 6) in four equal parts.
Answer :
The co-ordinates of the midpoint 
between two points 
and 
is given by,
Here we are supposed to find the points which divide the line joining A(−4,0) and B(0,6) into 4 equal parts.
We shall first find the midpoint M(x, y) of these two points since this point will divide the line into two equal parts
So the point M(−2,3) splits this line into two equal parts.
Now, we need to find the midpoint of A(−4,0) and M(−2,3) separately and the midpoint of B(0,6) and M(−2,3). These two points along with M(−2,3) split the line joining the original two points into four equal parts.
Let 
be the midpoint of A(−4,0) and M(−2,3).
Now let 
bet the midpoint of B(0,6) and M(−2,3).
Hence the co-ordinates of the points which divide the line joining the two given points are
.
Question 31: Show that the mid-point of the line segment joining the points (5, 7) and (3, 9) is also the mid-point of the line segment joining the points (8, 6) and (0, 10).
Answer :
We have two points A (5, 7) and B (3, 9) which form a line segment and similarly
C (8, 6) and D (0, 10) form another line segment.
We have to prove that mid-point of AB is also the mid-point of CD.
In general to find the mid-point
of two points
and
we use section formula as,
Therefore mid-point P of line segment AB can be written as,
Now equate the individual terms to get,
So co-ordinates of P is (4, 8)
Similarly mid-point Q of side CD can be written as,
Now equate the individual terms to get,
So co-ordinates of Q is (4, 8)
Hence the point P and Q coincides.
Thus mid-point of AB is also the mid-point of CD.
Question 32: Find the distance of the point (1, 2) from the mid-point of the line segment joining the points (6, 8) and (2, 4).
Answer :
We have to find the distance of a point A (1, 2) from the mid-point of the line segment joining P (6, 8) and Q (2, 4).
In general to find the mid-point
of any two points
and
we use section formula as,
Therefore mid-point B of line segment PQ can be written as,
Now equate the individual terms to get,
So co-ordinates of B is (4, 6)
Therefore distance between A and B,
Question 33: If A and B are (1, 4) and (5, 2) respectively, find the coordinates of P when AP/BP = 3/4.
Answer :

and 
in the ratio 
is given as,
where, 
Here the two given points are A(1,4) and B(5,2). Let point P(x, y) divide the line joining ‘AB’ in the ratio 
Substituting these values in the earlier mentioned formula we have,
Thus the co-ordinates of the point which divides the given points in the required ratio are
.
Question 34: Show that the points A (1, 0), B (5, 3), C (2, 7) and D (−2, 4) are the vertices of a parallelogram.
Answer :
Let A (1, 0); B (5, 3); C (2, 7) and D (−2, 4) be the vertices of a quadrilateral. We have to prove that the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
We should proceed with the fact that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other than the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Now to find the mid-point
of two points
and
we use section formula as,
So the mid-point of the diagonal AC is,
Similarly mid-point of diagonal BD is,
Therefore the mid-points of the diagonals are coinciding and thus diagonal bisects each other.
Hence ABCD is a parallelogram.
Question 35: Determine the ratio in which the point P (m, 6) divides the join of A(−4, 3) and B(2, 8). Also, find the value of m.
Answer :
The co-ordinates of a point which divided two points 
and 
internally in the ratio 
is given by the formula,
Here we are given that the point P(m,6) divides the line joining the points A(−4,3) and B(2,8) in some ratio.
Let us substitute these values in the earlier mentioned formula.

Question 37:
ABCD is a rectangle formed by joining the points A (−1, −1), B(−1 4) C (5 4) and D (5, −1). P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively. Is the quadrilateral PQRS a square? a rectangle? or a rhombus? Justify your answer.
Answer :
We have a rectangle ABCD formed by joining the points A (−1,−1); B (−1, 4); C (5, 4) and D (5,−1). The mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA are P, Q, R, S respectively.
We have to find that whether PQRS is a square, rectangle or rhombus.
In general to find the mid-point
of two points
and
we use section formula as,
Therefore mid-point P of side AB can be written as,
Now equate the individual terms to get,
So co-ordinates of P is 
Similarly mid-point Q of side BC can be written as,
Now equate the individual terms to get,
So co-ordinates of Q is (2, 4)
Similarly mid-point R of side CD can be written as,
Now equate the individual terms to get,
So co-ordinates of R is 
Similarly mid-point S of side DA can be written as,
Now equate the individual terms to get,
So co-ordinates of S is (2,−1)
So we should find the lengths of sides of quadrilateral PQRS.
All the sides of quadrilateral are equal.
So now we will check the lengths of the diagonals.
All the sides are equal but the diagonals are unequal. Hence ABCD is a rhombus.
Question 38: Points P, Q, R and S divides the line segment joining A(1, 2) and B(6, 7) in 5 equal parts. Find the coordinates of the points P, Q and R.
Answer :
It is given that P, Q, R and S divides the line segment joining A(1, 2) and B(6, 7) in 5 equal parts.
∴ AP = PQ = QR = RS = SB .....(1)
Now,
AP + PQ + QR + RS + SB = AB
⇒ AP + AP + AP + AP + AP = AB [From (1)]
⇒ 5AP = AB
⇒ AP = 1/5 AB .....(2)
Now,
PB = PQ + QR + RS + SB =
.....(3)
From (2) and (3), we get
Similarly,
AQ : QB = 2 : 3 and AR : RB = 3 : 2
Using section formula, we get
Coordinates of P = 
Coordinates of Q = 
= (3 , 4)
Coordinates of R = 
= (4 , 5)

Since,
So,
Now according to the section formula if any point P divides a line segment joining 
and
in the ratio m: n internally than,
Therefore P divides AB in the ratio 3: 4. So,

Here we are supposed to find the points which divide the line joining A(−2,2) and B(2,8) into 4 equal parts.
We shall first find the midpoint M(x, y) of these two points since this point will divide the line into two equal parts.
So the point M(0,5) splits this line into two equal parts.
Now, we need to find the midpoint of A(−2,2) and M(0,5) separately and the midpoint of B(2,8) and M(0,5). These two points along with M(0,5) split the line joining the original two points into four equal parts.
Let
