Reason (R): The coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) in the ratio m1 : m2 are 
(2024)
View AnswerAns: (d)
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)
View AnswerAns:
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)
View AnswerAns: 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 
⇒ 
⇒ – 6y = y + 7
⇒ – 7y = 7
⇒ y = – 1
Point O = (2, 3), A = (–1, – 1)
Now,
So, radius of circles = 5 units
Q4: Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points (5, 3) and (–1, 6) is divided by Y-axis. (2024)
View AnswerAns:
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
⇒ 0 × (k + 1) = – k + 5
⇒ 0 = – k + 5
⇒ k = 5
So, m1 : m2 = 5 : 1
