What is the distance between the points A (c, 0) and B (0, −c)?
Advertisements
Solution
We have to find the distance betweenA( c , 0) and B (0 , - c) .
In general, the distance between A`(x_1 , y_1) " and B " (x_2 , y_2)` is given by,
`AB = sqrt((x_2 , x_1)^2 + ( y_2 - y_1)^2)`
So,
`AB = sqrt((c - 0)^2 + (0 - c)^2)`
` = c sqrt(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`.
