If A(0, 0), b(2, 4) and C(6, 4) are the vertices of a ΔABC,

Question: If A(0, 0), b(2, 4) and C(6, 4) are the vertices of a ΔABC, find the equations of its sides. Solution: Using two point form equation of lines AB, BC and AC can be find. Now A is origin so the lines passing through A (origin) are simply y = mx so we have to find slope of AB and AC. For line AB, $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \Rightarrow \frac{4-0}{2-0}=\frac{4}{2}$ $m=2$ So, the equation of line $A B$ is $y=2 x$. For line $A C$, $\mathrm{m}=\frac{\mathrm{y}_{2}-\mathrm{y}_{1}}{\math...

Prove that the points A

Question: Prove that the points A(1, 4), B(3, - 2) and C(4, - 5) are collinear. Also, find the equation of the line on which these points lie. Solution: If two lines having the same slope pass through a common point, then two lines will coincide. Hence, if A, B and C are three points in the XY - plane, then they will lie on a line, i.e., three points are collinear if and only if slope of AB = slope of BC. Slope of AB = slope of BC $\frac{-2-4}{3-1}=\frac{-5-(-2)}{4-3} \Rightarrow \frac{-6}{2}=\f...
