II. Answer the Following Questions.

Question 1.
Show that the given points (1, 1), (5, 4), (-2, 5) are the vertices of an isosceles right angled triangle.
Solution:
Let A (1, 1), B (5, 4) and G (-2, 5)
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Additional Questions 1
AB = 5, AC = 5
∴ ABC is an isosceles triangle …….. (1)
BC² = AB² + AC²
50 = 25 + 25 ⇒ 50 = 50
∴ ∠A = 90° ……… (2)
From (1) and (2) we get ABC is an isosceles right angle triangle.

Question 2.
Show that the point (3, -2), (3, 2), (-1, 2) and (-1, -2) taken in order are the vertices of a square.
Solution:
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Additional Questions 2
= \(\sqrt{16}\)
= 4
AB = BC = CD = DA = 4. All the four sides are equal.
∴ ABCD is a Rhombus ……..(1)
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Additional Questions 3
Diagonal AC = Diagonal BD = \(\sqrt{32}\) ……..(2)
From (1) and (2) we get ABCD is a square.

Question 3.
Show that the point A (3, 7) B (6, 5) and C (15, -1) are collinear.
Solution:
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Additional Questions 4
AB + BC = AC ⇒ \(\sqrt{13}\) + 3\(\sqrt{13}\) = 4\(\sqrt{13}\)
∴ The points A, B, C are collinear.

Question 4.
Find the type of triangle formed by (-1, -1), (1, 1) and (-√, √3)
Solution:
Let the point A (-1, -1), B (1, 1) and C (-√3, √3)
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Additional Questions 5
AB = BC = AC = √8
∴ ABC is an equilateral triangle.

Question 5.
Find x such that PQ = QR where P(6, -1) Q(1, 3) and R(x, 8) respectively.
Solution:
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Additional Questions 6
But PQ = QR
\(\sqrt{(x-1)^{2}+25}\) = \(\sqrt{41}\)
Squaring on both sides
(x – 1)² + 25 = 41
(x – 1)² = 41 – 25 = 16
x – 1 = \(\sqrt{16}\) = ± 4
x – 1 = 4 (or) x – 1 = – 4
x = 5 (or) x = -4 + 1 = -3
The value of x = 5 or – 3

Question 6.
Find the coordinate of the point of trisection of the line segment joining (4, -1) and
Solution:
Let A (4, -1) and B (-2, -3) are the given points
Let P (a, b) and Q (c, d) be the points of trisection of AB.
∴ AP = PQ = QB
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Additional Questions 7
The required coordinate P is (2, –\(\frac{5}{3}\)) and Q is (0, –\(\frac{7}{3}\))

Question 7.
Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points (-3, 10) and (6, -8) is divided by (-1, 6).
Solution:
Given points are A(-3, 10), B(6, -8) and P(-1, 6)
divides AB internally in the ratio m : n
By section formula.
A line divides internally in the ratio m : n the point P =
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Additional Questions 8
∴ \(\frac{6m-3n}{m+n}\) = -1
6m – 3n = -m – n
6m + m = 3n – n
7m = 2n ⇒ \(\frac{m}{n}\) = \(\frac{2}{7}\)
∴ m : n = 2 : 7
and
\(\frac{-8m+10n}{m+n}\) = 6
-8m + 10n = 6m + 6n
-8m – 6m = 6n – 10n
14m = 4n
∴ \(\frac{m}{n}\) = \(\frac{14}{4}\) = \(\frac{2}{7}\)
Hence P divides AB internally in the ratio 2 : 7

Question 8.
If (1, 2) (4, y), (x, 6) and (3, 5) are the vertices of a parallelogram taken in order, find “x” and “y”.
Solution:
Let A(1, 2), B(4, y), C(x, 6) and D(3, 5)
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Additional Questions 9
Since ABCD is a parallelogram the diagonal bisect each other
Mid point of AC = Mid point of BD
(\(\frac{1+x}{2}\), 4) = (\(\frac{7}{2}\), \(\frac{y+5}{2}\))
\(\frac{1+x}{2}\) = \(\frac{7}{2}\)
1 + x = 7
x = 7 – 1
= 6
and
\(\frac{y+5}{2}\) = 4
y + 5 = 8
y = 8 – 5
= 3
∴ The value of x = 6 and y = 3
