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`.
Statement A (Assertion): If the coordinates of the mid-points of the sides AB and AC of ∆ABC are D(3, 5) and E(–3, –3) respectively, then BC = 20 units.
Statement R (Reason): The line joining the mid-points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and equal to half of it.
