    Let the line segment joining the points A(2, -2) and B(3, 7) is divided by the line 2x+y-4 = 0 into ratio k:1.
    Using section formula ((m₁x₂+m₂x₁)/(m₁+m₂), (m₁y₂+m₂y₁)/(m₁+m₂)), the coordinates of point of intersection = ((3k+2)/(7k-2)/(k+1))
    Since this point lies on the line 2x+y-4 = 0, so it will satisfy the equar=tion of line. Therefore,
    2((3k+2)/(k+1))+((7k-2)/(k+1))-4=0
    ⇒ (6k+4+7k-2-4k-4)/(k+1) = 0
    ⇒ 9k-2 = 0 ⇒ k = 2/9
    Hence, the line segment joining the points A(2, -2) and B(3, 7) is divided by the line 2x+y-4 = 0 into ratio 2:9.

  2. Since, points (x, y), (1.2) and (7,0) are collinear. So area of triangle formed by these points will be zero. Area of triangle = 1/2[x₁(y₂-y₃)+x₂(y₃-y₁)+x₃(y₁-y₂)] ⇒ Area = 1/2[x(2-0) + 1(0-y)+ 7(y-2)] ⇒ 0 = 1/2[2x-y+7y-14] ⇒ 0 = [2x+6y-14] ⇒ x+3y-7 = 0 This is the video explanation of this questionRead more

  3. Let the centre of the circle passing through A(6, -6), B(3, -7) and C(3, 3) be O(x, y). OA = OB ⇒ √((x-6)²+(y+6)²) = √((x-3)²+(y+7)²) ⇒ √(x²+36-12x+y²+36+12y) = √(x²+9-6x+y²+49+14y) Squaring both the sides x²+36-12x+y²+36+12y = x²+9-6x+y²+49+14y ⇒ 72-12x+12y = 58-6x+14y ⇒ -6x-2y = 58-72 ⇒ -6x-2y = -Read more

    Let the centre of the circle passing through A(6, -6), B(3, -7) and C(3, 3) be O(x, y).
    OA = OB
    ⇒ √((x-6)²+(y+6)²) = √((x-3)²+(y+7)²)
    ⇒ √(x²+36-12x+y²+36+12y) = √(x²+9-6x+y²+49+14y)
    Squaring both the sides
    x²+36-12x+y²+36+12y = x²+9-6x+y²+49+14y
    ⇒ 72-12x+12y = 58-6x+14y
    ⇒ -6x-2y = 58-72
    ⇒ -6x-2y = -14
    ⇒ 3x+y = 7
    ⇒ y = 7-3x …(i)
    Similarly, OA = OC [Radii od circle]
    ⇒ √((x-6)²+(y+6)²) = √((x-3)²+(y-3)²)
    ⇒ √(x²+36-12x+y²+36+12y+36+12y) = √(x²+9-6x+y²+9-6y)
    Squaring both the sides
    x²+36-12x+y²+36+12y = x²+9-6x+y²+9-6y
    ⇒ 72-12x+12y = 18-6x-6y
    ⇒ -6x+18y = 18-72
    ⇒ -6x+18y = -54
    ⇒ x-3y = 9
    ⇒ x-3(7-3x) = 9
    ⇒ x-21+9x = 9
    10x = 30 ⇒ x = 3
    Putting the value of x in equation (i), we get
    y = 7-3(3) = -2
    Hence, the centre of circle is O(3, -2).

  4. The two opposite vertices of a square are (-1,2) and (3, 2). Let the two other vertices be B[x, y) and D(x₁, y₁) The sides of square are equal. Therefore, ∴ AB = BC ⇒ √((x+1)²(y-2)²) = √((x-3)²+(y-2)² ⇒ √(x²+1+2x+y²+4-4y) = √(x²+9-6x+y²+4-4y) Squaring both sides, we get x²+1+2x +y + 4 -4y = x²+9-6xRead more

    The two opposite vertices of a square are (-1,2) and (3, 2). Let the two other vertices be B[x, y) and D(x₁, y₁)
    The sides of square are equal. Therefore,
    ∴ AB = BC
    ⇒ √((x+1)²(y-2)²) = √((x-3)²+(y-2)²
    ⇒ √(x²+1+2x+y²+4-4y) = √(x²+9-6x+y²+4-4y)
    Squaring both sides, we get
    x²+1+2x +y + 4 -4y = x²+9-6x + y²+4-4y
    ⇒ x = 8 ⇒ x = 1
    All the angles of square is 90°. Therefore, in AABC,
    AB²+BC² = AC²
    ⇒ (√((x+1)²+(y-2)²))+(√((1-3)²+(y-2)²)) = (√(3+1)²+(2-2)²))
    ⇒ 4+y²+4-4y+4+y²-4y+4 = 16
    ⇒ 2y²+16-8y = 0
    ⇒ y(y-4) = 0
    ⇒ y = 0 or y = 4
    We know that, the diagonals of square bisect each other. Therefore oordinates of mid-points of AC = Coordinates of mid-points of BD
    ⇒ ((-1+3)/2, (2+2)/2) = ((x+x₁)/2, (y+y₁)/2)
    ⇒ (1, 2) = ((1+x₁)/2, (y+y₁)/2)
    On comparing, we get,
    (1+x₁)/2 = 1
    ⇒ 1+x₁ = 2 ⇒ x₁ = 1
    and (y+y₁)/2 ⇒ y+y₁ = 4
    If y = 0, y₁ = 4,
    If y = 4, y₁ = 0
    Hence, the coordinates of other two vertices of square are (1, 0) and (1, 4).

  5. Given that: AD/AB = AE/AC = 1/4 Let AD = x, therefore AB = 4x as AD/AB = 1/4 Hence, BD = AB-AD = 4x-x = 3x ⇒ AD/DB = 1/3 Similarly, AE/EC = 1/3 Hence, the points D and E divides the sides AB and AC respectively into 1:3. Therefore, Coordinates of point D = ((1×1+3×4)/(1+3), (1×5+3×6)/(1+3)) = (13/4,Read more

    Given that: AD/AB = AE/AC = 1/4
    Let AD = x, therefore AB = 4x as AD/AB = 1/4
    Hence, BD = AB-AD = 4x-x = 3x
    ⇒ AD/DB = 1/3
    Similarly,
    AE/EC = 1/3
    Hence, the points D and E divides the sides AB and AC respectively into 1:3.
    Therefore,
    Coordinates of point D = ((1×1+3×4)/(1+3), (1×5+3×6)/(1+3)) = (13/4, 23/4)
    Coordinates of point E = ((1×7+3×4)/(1+3), (1×2+3×6)/(1+3)) = (19/4, 20/4)
    Area of Triangle ADE
    = 1/2[x₁(y₂-y₃)+x₂(y₃-y₁)+x₃(y₁-y₂)]
    = 1/2[4((23/4)-(20/4))+13/4((20/4)-6)+19/4(6-(23/4))]
    = 1/2[3- (13/4)+(19/16)]
    = 1/2[(48-52+19)/16]
    = 15/32 square units
    Area of triangle ACB,
    = 1/2[x₁(y₂-y₃)+x₂(y₃-y₁)+x₃(y₁-y₂)]
    = 1/2[4(5-2)+1(2-6)+7(6-5)]
    = 1/2[12-4+7]
    = 15/2 square units
    Now, (Area of triangle ADE)/(Area of triangle ABC) = (15/32)/(15/2) = 2/32 = 1/16
