Find the distance between the following pair of points:
(a, 0) and (0, b)

उत्तर
The distance d between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula.
`d = sqrt((x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2)`
The two given points are (a, 0) and (0, b)
The distance between these two points is
`d = sqrt((a - 0)^2 + (0 - b)^2)`
`= sqrt((a)^2 + (-b)^2)`
`d = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)`
Hence the distance is `sqrt(a^2 + b^2)`

If the points P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y) are collinear, then find the relation between x and y.
Given points are P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y).
The given points are collinear, so the area of the triangle formed by them is `square`.
∴ `1/2 |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| = square`
`1/2 |1(square) + 0(square) + x(square)| = square`
`square + square + square` = 0
`square + square` = 0
`square = square`
Hence, the relation between x and y is `square`.
The coordinates of two points are P(4, 5) and Q(–1, 6). Find the difference between their abscissas.
