Solution:
Distance between the points (1, 2) and (4, 3)

(ii) (3, 4) and (-7, 2)
Solution:
Distance between the points (3,4) and (-7, 2)

(iii) (a, b) and (c, b)
Solution:
Distance between the two points (a, b) and (c, b)

= c – a units

(iv) (3,- 9) and (-2, 3)
Solution:
Distance between the two points (3, -9) and (-2, 3)

= 13 units

Question 2.
Determine whether the given set of points in each case are collinear or not.
(i) (7, -2), (5, 1), (3, 4)
Solution:
To prove that three points are collinear, sum of the distance between two pairs of points is equal to the third pair of points.

AB + BC = AC
$$\sqrt{13}$$ + $$\sqrt{13}$$ = 2$$\sqrt{13}$$ ⇒ 2$$\sqrt{13}$$ = 2$$\sqrt{13}$$
∴ The given three points are collinear.

(ii) (a, -2), (a, 3), (a, 0)
Solution:
A (a, -2) B (a, 3) C (a, 0)

√4
= 2
AC + BC = AB ⇒ 2 + 3 = 5
∴ The given three points are collinear.

Question 3.
Show that the following points taken in order to form an isosceles triangle.
(i) A (5, 4), B(2, 0), C (-2, 3)
Solution:

= 5√2
AB = BC = 5. (Two sides are equal)
∴ ABC is an isosceles triangle.

(ii) A (6, -1), B (-2, -4), C (2, 10)
Solution:

BC = AC = $$\sqrt{212}$$ (TWO sides are equal)
∴ ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Question 4.
Show that the following points taken in order to form an equilateral triangle in each case.
(i) A(2, 2), B(-2, -2), C(-2√3, 2√3)
Solution:

AB = BC = AC (Three sides are equal)
∴ ABC is an equilateral triangle.

(ii) A(√3, 2), B (0, 1), C(0, 3)
Solution:

= √4
= 2
AB = BC = AC (Three sides are equal)
∴ ABC is an equilateral triangle.

Question 5.
Show that the following points taken in order to form the vertices of a parallelogram.
(i) A(-3, 1), B(-6, -7), C (3, -9) and D(6, -1)
Solution:

AB = CD = $$\sqrt{73}$$ and BC = AD = $$\sqrt{85}$$ (Opposite sides are equal)
∴ ABCD is a parallelogram.

(ii) A (-7, -3), B(5, 10), C(15, 8) and D(3, -5)
Solution:

AB = CD = $$\sqrt{313}$$ and BC = AD = $$\sqrt{104}$$ (Opposite sides are equal)
∴ ABCD is a parallelogram.

Question 6.
Verify that the following points taken in order to form the vertices of a rhombus.
(i) A(3, -2), B (7, 6),C (-1, 2) and D (-5, -6)
Solution:

AB = BC = CD = AD = $$\sqrt{80}$$. All the four sides are equal.
∴ ABCD is a rhombus.

(ii) A (1, 1), B (2, 1),C (2, 2) and D (1, 2)
Solution:

AB = BC = CD = AD = 1. All the four sides are equal.
∴ ABCD is a rhombus.

Question 7.
A (-1, 1), B (1, 3) and C (3, a) are points and if AB = BC, then find ‘a’.
Solution:

4 + (a – 3)² = 8
(a – 3)² = 8 – 4
(a – 3)² = 4
a – 3 = √4
= ± 2
a – 3 = 2 (or) a – 3 = -2
a = 2 + 3 (or) a = 3 – 2
a = 5 (or) a = 1
∴ The value of a = 5 or a = 1.

Question 8.
The abscissa of a point A is equal to its ordinate, and its distance from the point B(1, 3) is 10 units, What are the coordinates of A?
Solution:
Let the point A be (a, a) B is (1, 3)
Distance AB = 10 (Given)
By distance formula $$\sqrt{(a – 1 )² + (a – 3)²}$$ = 10
Simplifying 2a² – 8a + 10 = 100
a² – 4a – 45 = 0
(a – 9)(a + 5) = 0
⇒ a = – 5; A = (-5, -5)
a = 9; A = (9, 9)

Question 9.
The point (x, y) is equidistant from the points (3, 4) and (-5, 6). Find a relation between x and y.
Solution:
Let the point O be (x, y), A be (3, 4) and B be (-5, 6).

Distance = $$\sqrt{(x_{2} – x_{1})² + (y_{2} – y_{1})²}$$
Given ,OA = OB
$$\sqrt{(x – 3 )² + (y – 4)²}$$ = $$\sqrt{(x + 5 )² + (y – 6)²}$$
Squaring on both sides
(x – 3)² + (y – 4)² = (x + 5)² + (y – 6)²
x² – 6x + 9 + y² – 8y + 16 = x² + 10x + 25 + y² – 12y + 36
x² + y² – 6x – 8y + 25 = x² + y² + 10x – 12y + 61
6x – 10x – 8y + 12y = 61 – 25 ⇒ -16x + 4y = 36
÷ 4 ⇒ -4x + y = 9
∴ The relation between x and y is y = 4x + 9

Question 10.
Let A(2,3) and B(2, -4) be two points. If P lies on the x-axis, such that AP = $$\frac{3}{7}$$ AB, find the coordinates of P.
Solution:
Given points are A(2, 3) and B(2, -4)
The point P lies on the x-axis.
∴ The point P is (x, 0)

16x² – 64x + 208 = 9x² – 36x + 180
16x² – 9x² – 64x + 36x + 208 – 180 = 0
7x² – 28x + 28 = 0
x² – 4x + 4 = 0
(x – 2)² = 0
x – 2 = 0
x = 2
∴ The point P is (2, 0)

Question 11.
Show that the point (11, 2) is the centre of the circle passing through the points (1, 2), (3, -4) and (5, -6)
Solution:

$$\sqrt{100}$$
= 10
OA = OB = OC = 10
O is the centre of the circle passing through A, B and C.

Question 12.
The radius of a circle with centre at origin is 30 units. Write the coordinates of the points where the circle intersects the axes. Find the distance between any two such points.
Solution:

Radius of the circle = 30 units. The point O is (0, 0).
Let a intersect the x-axis and b intersect the y-axis.
∴ The point A is (a, 0) and B is (0, b)

Squaring on both sides
30² = a²
∴ a = 30
The point A is (30, 0)
OB = $$\sqrt{(0 – 0)² + (b – 0)²}$$
= $$\sqrt{0² + b²}$$
30 = $$\sqrt{b²}$$
Squaring on both sides
30² = b²
∴ b = 30
The point B is (0, 30)

= 30√2
∴ Distance between the two points = 30√2
