MCQ: Coordinate Geometry - 1 - Question 2

Find the y-intercept of the line joining two points (1,3) and (3,5)?

Detailed Solution: Question 2

The equation of the line passing through the points, (1, 3) and (3, 5)
We know the two-point form of a line passing through these two points is: 

As the intercept form is represented as


Hence, the y-intercept is 2.

MCQ: Coordinate Geometry - 1 - Question 3

What is the reflection on the point (−4, 3) in the line x = −2?

Detailed Solution: Question 3

Coordinates of the point is (−4, 3).
Since, we need to find the reflection along x = −2, the y-coordinate remains unaffected.
Now, for reflection, the distance from the line of the reflection to the object should be equal to the distance to the image point.
So, for x-coordinate:
If the distance from the image to the line of reflection is 'A' and the distance from the object to the line of reflection be 'B'.
And, X1 be the x coordinate of point (−4, 3).

Hence, the correct answer is (0, 3).

MCQ: Coordinate Geometry - 1 - Question 4

The distance of point (−2, 3) from the line x − y = 5 is:

Detailed Solution: Question 4

According to the problem,
The equation of the line is x − y = 5 or x − y − 5 = 0
Point(P) = (−2, 3)
Distance

Hence, the distance is 5√2.

MCQ: Coordinate Geometry - 1 - Question 5

Find the co-ordinates of the centroid of a triangle whose vertices are (0, 6) (8, 12) and (8, 0)?

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Let the coordinates of the centroid be  (x, y).
x-axis coordinates of the centroid 

y-axis coordinates of the centroid 

So, Coordinates of centroid is 

MCQ: Coordinate Geometry - 1 - Question 6

If the sum of the diagonal elements of a 2 × 2 matrix is −6, then the maximum possible value of determinant of the matrix is ________.

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Let the matrix be

The determinant is:
|A| = ad − bc
It is given that,
a + d = −6d = −6 − a  −(1)
For maximum value, bc = 0
Then,
|A| = ad
|A| = a(−6−a)|A| = −6a−a2 
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. a we get,

It has maximum value at a = −3
d = −6−ad = −6−(−3)d = −3
So, maximum value is:

Hence, the required answer is 9.

MCQ: Coordinate Geometry - 1 - Question 7

Perform the following operations on the matrix

(i) Add the third row to the second row
(ii) Subtract the third column from the first column.
The determinant of the resultant matrix is ___________.

Detailed Solution: Question 7

The given matrix is:

According to question,
(i) On adding the third row to the second row we get,

(ii) Subtract the third column from the first column we get,

It is clear that,
Third column=14×first column
So, the determinant will be zero as third coulmn is multiple of first column.
Hence, the required answer is 0.

MCQ: Coordinate Geometry - 1 - Question 8

Point A(4, 2) divides segment BC in the ratio 2 : 5. Coordinates of B are (2, 6) and C is (7, y). What is the value of y?

Detailed Solution: Question 8

The coordinates of A are (4, 2).
The coordinates of B are (2, 6).
The coordinates of C are (7, y).
x1 = 2, x2 = 7, y1 = 6, y2 = y, m1 = 2, m2 = 5
By using the section formula:

MCQ: Coordinate Geometry - 1 - Question 9

Find the intercepts made by the line 2x – 3y + 6 = 0 with the coordinate axes.

Detailed Solution: Question 9

2x – 3y + 6 = 0

then it is in the format of 
The intercepts are -3, 2

MCQ: Coordinate Geometry - 1 - Question 10

Point P is the mid-point of segment AB. Coordinates of P are (3,1) and B are (5, −4). What are the coordinates of point A? 

Detailed Solution: Question 10

According to Mid−Point Formula,

(xm, ym) are the coordinates of mid−point.

(x1, y1) are the coordinates of first point.

(x2, y2) are the coordinates of second point.
Given, coordinates of mid−point P = (3,1).
coordinates of second point B = (5, −4)
Let the coordinates of first point A (x1, y1).
Now, on using mid−point formula, we get

MCQ: Coordinate Geometry - 1 - Question 11

If p and q are reciprocal to each other and p = (5 + 2√6), then what will be the value of q?

Detailed Solution: Question 11


Therefore, 

Hence, the value of q is (5 − 2√6).

MCQ: Coordinate Geometry - 1 - Question 12

AB ∥ CD and the line EF cuts these lines at the points M and N respectively. Bisectors of angles ∠BMN and ∠MND meet at the point Q. Find the value of ∠MQN.

∠BMN + ∠DNM = 180o (consecutive interior angles)

MCQ: Coordinate Geometry - 1 - Question 13

Find the value of k for which the lines 5x + 3y + 2 = 0 and 3x − ky + 6 = 0 are perpendicular.

Detailed Solution: Question 13

The slope is the measure of the rise (or change in the y-axis) over the run (or change in the x-axis).
Let slope of lines are m1 and m2 respectively

When lines are perpendicular, then m1 × m2 = −1

k = 5

MCQ: Coordinate Geometry - 1 - Question 14

In the given diagram, TU || PS and points Q and R lie on PS. Also, ∠PQT = x°, ∠RQT = (x − 50)° and ∠TUR = (x + 25)°. What is the measure of ∠URS?

Detailed Solution: Question 14


It is given that,∠PQT = x°, ∠RQT = (x − 50)° & ∠TUR = (x + 25)°
We can write as,
∠PQT + ∠RQT = 180°
x+(x−50) = 180°
2x = 230
x = 115°
Also, we can write as,
∠TUR+∠URQ = 180°
(115+25)+∠URQ = 180°
∠URQ = 180 − 140 = 40°
Therefore,
∠URS = 180 −∠URQ
∠URS = 180 − 40 = 140°
