AM Unit 5 – Coordinate Geometry

The figure shows a right-angled triangle $ABC$, where points $A$, $B$ and $C$ are $A\left( -2,8 \right)$, $\left( k,0 \right)$ and $\left( 10,4 \right)$ respectively. $AB$ cuts the $y$-axis at $P$. $Q$ is a point on $AC$ and $BC$ is parallel to $PQ$.

(i)

Given that $k<5$, find the value of $k$.

(ii)

Find the coordinates of $P$ and show that $P$ is the midpoint of $AB$.

(iii)

Hence find the coordinate of $Q$.

(iv)

$D$ is a point such that $ABCD$ is a rectangle. Find the coordinates of $D$.

(v)

Find the area of the rectangle $ABCD$.

Question 2

Given that the $x$- intercept of a line is twice its $y$- intercept and that the line passes through the point of intersection of the lines $3y+x=3$ and $4y-3x=5$, find the equation of this line.

Question 3

The diagram shows a quadrilateral $ABCD$ where $A$ is $\left( 6,1 \right)$, $B$ lies on the $x$-axis and $C$ is $\left( 1,3 \right)$. The diagonal $BD$ bisects $AC$ at right angles at $M$. Find

(i)

the equation of $BD$,

(ii)

the coordinates of $B$,

(iii)

the coordinates of $D$ such that $ABCD$ is a parallelogram.
