1. Find the distance between the following pairs of points:
(i) (2, 3), (4, 1)
(ii) (−5, 7), (−1, 3)
(iii) (a, b), (− a, − b)
Solution:
(i) Distance between the two points is given by
√[(x₂ – x₁ )² + (y₂ – y₁ )² ]
Therefore, distance between (2, 3) an (4, 1) is given by,
d = √[(2–4)²+(3–1)²] = √[(2)²+(2)²] = √(4 + 4) =
√8 = 2√2 unit,
(ii) Distance between (-5, 7) an (-1, 3) is given by,
d = √[(-5 – (-1))² + (7 – 3)² ]
= √[(-4)² + (4)² ]
= √(16 + 16) = √32 = 4√2 unit,
(iii) Distance between (a, b) an (-a, -b) is given by,
d = √[(a – (-a))² + (b – (-b))² ]
= √[(2a)² + (2b)² ]
= √(4a + 4b ) = 2√(a +b )
2. Find the distance between the points (0, 0) and (36,15).
Solution:
Distance between points (0, 0) and (36, 15).
√[(36 – (0))² + (15 – 0)² ]
= √[(36)² + (15)² ]
= √(1296 + 225) = √1521 = 39unit.
3. Determine if the points (1, 5), (2, 3) and (−2,−11) are collinear.
Solution:
Let the points (1, 5), (2, 3), and (−2, −11) be
representing the vertices A, B, and C of the given
triangle respectively.
Let A = (1, 5), B = (2, 3), and C = (−2, −11)
AB = √[(1 – 2)² + (5 – 3)² ] = √[(-1)² + (2)² ]
= √(1 + 4) = √5 unit.
BC = √[(2 – (-2))² + (3 – (-11))² ] = √[(4)² + (14)² ]
= √(16 + 196) = √212 unit
CA = √[((-2) – 1)² + ((-11) – 5)² ] = √[(3)² + (16)² ] = √(9 + 256) = √265 unit.
Since AB + BC ≠ CA
Therefore, the points (1, 5), (2, 3), and (−2, −11) are not collinear.
4. Check whether (5, − 2), (6, 4) and (7, − 2) are the vertices of an isosceles triangle.
Solution:
Let the points (5, −2), (6, 4), and (7, −2) are representing the vertices A, B, and C of the given triangle respectively.
Let A = (5, -2), B = (6, 4), and C = (7, −2)
AB = √[(5 – 6)² + ((-2) – 4)²] = √[(-1)² + (-6)²]
= √(1 + 36) = √37 unit
BC = √[(6 – (7))² + (4 – (-2))² ]
= √[(-1) + (6) ] = √(1 + 36) = √37 unit
CA = √[(7 – 5) + ((-2) – (-2)) ] = √[(2) + (0) ]
= √(4 + 0) = 2unit.
Therefore, AB = BC
Thus ABC is an isosceles triangle.
5. In a classroom, 4 friends are seated at the points A, B, C and D. Champa and Chameli walk into the class and after observing for a few minutes Champa asks Chameli, “Don’t you think ABCD is a square?” Chameli disagrees. Using distance formula, find which of them is correct.
Solution:
It can be observed that A (3, 4), B (6, 7), C (9, 4), and D (6, 1) are the positions of these 4 friends.
AB = √[(3 – 6)² + (4 – 7)² ] = √[(-3)² + (-3)² ]
= √(9 + 9)
= √18 unit,
BC = √[(6 – (9))² + (7 – 4)² ]
= √[(-3)² + (3)² ] = √(9 + 9)
= √18 unit
CD = √[(9 – 6)² + (4 – 1)² ] = √[(3)² + (3)² ]
= √(9 + 9)
= √18 unit
DA = √[(6 – (3))² + (1 – 4)² ] = √[(3)² + (-3)² ]
= √(9 + 9)
= √18 unit
Diagonal AC = √[(3 – 9) + (4 – 4) ] = √[(-6) + (0) ] = √(36 + 0) = 6 unit.
Diagonal BD = √[(6 – 6) + (7 – 1) ] = √[(0) + (6) ] = √(0 + 36) = 6 unit
It can be observed that all sides of this quadrilateral ABCD are of the same length and also the diagonals are of the same length. Therefore, ABCD is a square and
hence, Champa was correct

= √[(4)² + (0) ] = √16 = 4.
It can be observed that all sides of this quadrilateral are of the same length and also, the diagonals are of the same length. Therefore, the given points are the vertices are of a square.

= √[(-6)² + (4)² ]
= √(36 + 16) = √52 = 2√13 unit
BC = √[((3) – (0))² + ((1) – 3)² ] = √[(3)² + (-2)² ]
= √(9 + 4) = √13 unit

= √[(1) + (7) ]
= √(1 + 49)
= √50 = √(25×2) = 5√2 unit

= √[(2)² + (-9)² ]
= √(4 + 81)
= √85 unit.
It can be observed that all sides of this quadrilateral arebof different lengths. Therefore, it can be said that it is only a general quadrilateral, and not specific such as
square, rectangle, etc.
(iii)Let the points (4, 5), (7, 6), (4, 3), and (1, 2) be
representing the vertices A, B, C, and D of the given quadrilateral respectively.

= √(9 + 1) = √10
BC = √[(7 – 4)² + (6 – 3)² ]
= √[(3)² + (3)² ] = √(9 + 9) = √18 unit.

= √[(0) + (2) ] = √(0 + 4) = √4 = 2 unit.
Diagonal BD = √[(7 – 1)² + (6 – 2)² ]
= √[(6)² + (4)² ] = √(36 + 16) = √52 = 13√2 unit.
It can be observed that opposite sides of this
quadrilateral are of the same length. However, the diagonals are of different lengths. Therefore, the given points are the vertices of a parallelogram.
7. Find the point on the x-axis which is equidistant from (2, − 5) and (− 2, 9).
Solution:
We have to find a point on x-axis. Therefore, its y-coordinate will be 0. Let the point on x-axis be (x, 0)
By the given condition, these distances are equal in measure.
√[(x-2)²+(5)²] = √[(x+2)²+9²]
(x-2)² + 25 = (x+2)² + 81
x² + 4 – 4x + 25 = x² + 4 + 4x +81
8x = 25 – 81
8x = -56
x = -7
Therefore, the point (-7, 0)
8. Find the values of y for which the distance between the points P (2, − 3) and Q (10, y) is 10 units.
Solution:
It is given that the distance between (2, − 3) and Q (10, y) is 10.
⇒√[(2 – 10)² + (-3 – y)²] = 10²
⇒(-8)² + (y + 3)² = 10²
⇒64 + (y + 3)² = 100
⇒(y + 3)² = 100 – 64 = 36
⇒y + 3 = ±6
⇒y = +6 – 3 = +3 OR y = -6 – 3 = -9
Therefore, y = -9 or +3.
9. If Q (0, 1) is equidistant from P (5, − 3) and R (x, 6), find the values of x. Also find the distance QR and PR.
Solution:
PQ = QR
√[(5 – 0)²+(-3 -1)²] = √[(0 – x)²+(1 – 6)²]
√[5²+(-4)²] = √[ x²+(-5)²]
√[25 + 16] = √[ x² + 25]
41 = x² + 25
16 = x²
x = 4
Therefore, point R is (4, 6) or (-4, 6)
When point R is (4,6)
PR = √[((5) – (4))² + ((-3) – 6)² ]
= √[(9)² + (-9)² ]
= √(81 + 81) = 9√2 unit
QR = √[((0) – (4))² + ((1) – 6)² ]
= √[(-4)² + (-5)² ]
= √(16 + 25) = √41 unit.
10. Find a relation between x and y such that the point (x, y) is equidistant from the point (3, 6) and (− 3, 4).
Solution:
Point (x, y) is equidistant from (3, 6) and (−3, 4).
√[(x – 3)²+(y – 6)²] = √[(x – (-3))²+(y – 4)²]
⇒[(x – 3)² + (y – 6)²] = [(x + 3))² + (y – 4)²]
⇒x²–6x+9+y² -12y+36 = x²+6x+9 + y² – 8x+16
⇒-6x -12y + 45 = 6x – 8x + 25
⇒20 = 12x + 4y
⇒3x + y = 5
⇒3x + y – 5 = 0

2. The base of an equilateral triangle with side 2a lies along the y-axis such that the mid-point of the base is at the origin. Find vertices of the triangle.
Solution:
Let ABC be the given equilateral triangle with side 2a.
Accordingly, AB = BC = CA = 2a
Let us assume base BC lies along the y-axis such that the mid-point of BC is at the origin.
i.e., BO = OC = a, where O is the origin.
Now, it is clear that the coordinates of point C are (0, a),
while the coordinates of point B are (0, –a).
It is known that the line joining a vertex of an equilateral
triangle with the mid-point of its opposite side is
perpendicular.
Hence, vertex A lies on the y-axis.
On applying Pythagoras theorem to ∆AOC, we obtain
(AC)² = (OA)² + (OC)²
⇒ (2a)² = (OA)² + a²
⇒ 4a² – a² = (OA)²
⇒ (OA)² = 3a²
⇒ OA =√3a
∴Coordinates of point A = (±√3a, 0)
Therefore, the vertices of the given equilateral triangle
are
(0, a), (0, –a), and (√3a, 0)
or
(0, a), (0, –a), and (-√3a, 0).
3. Find the distance between P(x , y ) and Q(x , y )
when:
(i) PQ is parallel to the y-axis,
(ii) PQ is parallel to the x-axis.
Solution:
The given points are P(x₁ , y₁ ) and Q(x₂ , y₂ )
(i) When PQ is parallel to the y-axis, x₁ = x₂ .
In this case, distance between P and Q
= √[(x₂ – x₁ )² +(y₂ – y₁ )² ]
= √(y₂ – y₁ )²
=|y₂ – y₁ |
(ii)When PQ is parallel to the x-axis, y = y .
In this case, distance between P and Q
= √[(x₂ – x₁ )² +(y₂ – y₁ )² ]
= √(x₂ – x₁ )²
=|x₂ – x₁ |.
4. Find a point on the x-axis, which is equidistant from the points (7, 6) and (3, 4).
Solution:
Let (a, 0) be the point on the x-axis that is equidistant from the points (7, 6) and (3, 4).
√[(7-a)² +(6-0)² ] = √[(3-a)² +(4 – 0)² ]
⇒ √[49+a² -14a +36] = √[9+a² – 6a + 16]
⇒ √[a – 14a + 85] = √[a – 6a + 25]
On squaring both sides, we obtain
a – 14a + 85 = a – 6a + 25
⇒ –14a + 6a = 25 – 85
⇒ –8a = –60
a = ⁶⁰/₈ = ¹⁵/₂
Thus, the required point on the x-axis is ( ¹⁵/⁴ , 0).
5. Find the slope of a line, which passes through the origin, and the mid-point of the line segment joining the points P (0, –4) and B (8, 0).
Solution:
The coordinates of the mid-point of the line segment joining the points P (0, –4) and B (8, 0) are
( ⁰⁺⁸/₂ , ⁻⁴⁺⁰/₂ ) = (4, -2).
It is known that the slope (m) of a non-vertical line passing through the points (x₁ , y₁ ) and (x₂ , y₂ ) is given by
m = (y₂ – y₁ )/(x₂ – x₁ ) ,
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (0, 0) and (4, –2) is
(-2-0)/(4-0) = ⁻²/₄ = ⁻¹/₂
Hence, the required slope of the line is ⁻¹/₂ .
6. Without using the Pythagoras theorem, show that the points (4, 4), (3, 5) and (–1, –1) are the vertices of a right angled triangle.
Solution:
Given: The vertices of the triangle are A (4, 4), B (3, 5), and C (–1, –1).
We know that the slope (m) of a non-vertical line
passing through the points (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂ , y₂) is m = (y₂ – y₁ )/(x₂ – x₁ ) ,
Slope of AB (m₁ ) = ¹/-1 = -1
Slope of BC (m₂ ) = ⁻⁶/-4 = ³/₂
Slope of CA (m₃ ) = ⁵/₅ = 1
It is observed that m₁.m₃ = –1
This shows that line segments AB and CA are
perpendicular to each other i.e., the given triangle is
right-angled at A (4, 4).
Thus, the points (4, 4), (3, 5), and (–1, –1) are the
vertices of a right-angled triangle.
7. Find the slope of the line, which makes an angle of 30° with the positive direction of y-axis measured anticlockwise.
Solution:
If a line makes an angle of 30° with the positive
direction of the y-axis measured anticlockwise, then the angle made by the line with the positive direction of the x-axis measured anticlockwise is 90° + 30° = 120°.
Thus, the slope of the given line is tan 120°
= tan(180°– 60°) = –tan 60° = – √3
8. Find the value of x for which the points (x, –1), (2, 1) and (4, 5) are collinear.
Solution:
If points A (x, –1), B (2, 1), and C (4, 5) are collinear,then
Slope of AB = Slope of BC
⇒(1+1)/(2-x) = (5-1)/(4-2)
⇒ 2/(2-x) = 4/2
⇒ 2/(2-x) = 2
⇒ 2 = 4 – 2x
⇒ 2x = 2
⇒ x = 1
Thus, the required value of x is 1.
9. Without using distance formula, show that points (–2, –1), (4, 0), (3, 3) and (–3, 2) are vertices of a parallelogram.
Solution:
Let points (–2, –1), (4, 0), (3, 3), and (–3, 2) be
respectively denoted by A, B, C, and D.
Slope of AB = ¹/₆
Slope of CD = ¹/₆
Slope of AB = Slope of CD
Thus AB and CD are parallel to each other
Now slope of BC = -3
Slope of AD = –3
⇒ Slope of BC = Slope of AD
⇒ BC and AD are parallel to each other.
Therefore, both pairs of opposite sides of quadrilateral ABCD are parallel. Hence, ABCD is a parallelogram.
Thus, points (–2, –1), (4, 0), (3, 3), and (–3, 2) are the vertices of a parallelogram.
10. Find the angle between the x-axis and the line joining the points (3, –1) and (4, –2).
Solution:
The slope of the line joining the points (3, –1) and (4, –2) is m = -1
Now, the inclination (θ) of the line joining the points (3, –1) and (4, – 2) is given by tan θ = –1
⇒ θ = tan⁻¹(-1) = (90° + 45°) = 135°
Thus, the angle between the x-axis and the line joining the points (3, –1) and (4, –2) is 135°.
11. The slope of a line is double of the slope of another line. If tangent of the angle between them is 1/3, find the slopes of the lines.
Solution:
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the two given lines such
that m₁ = 2m₂.
We know that if θ is the angle between the lines l₁ and l₂ with slopes m₁ and m₂ , then
1+ 2m₂² = ±3m₂
taking ⁺sign,
2m₂² – 3m₂ + 1 = 0
2m₂² – 2m₂ – m₂ + 1 = 0
2m₂(m₂ – 1) – 1(m₂ – 1) = 0
(m₂ – 1)(2m₂ – 1) = 0
m₂ = 1 or m₂ = ¹/₂
If m = 1, then slopes of the lines are 1 and 2.
If m=¹/₂, then slopes of the lines are ¹/₂ and 1.
Hence the slopes of the lines are -1 and -2 or ⁻¹/₂ and -1(by taking negative sign)
or 1 and 2 or ¹/₂ and 1
12. A line passes through (x , y ). IF slope of the line is m , show that k – y = m(h – x )
Solution:
The slope of the line passing through (x , y ) and (h, k) is (k – y )/ (h – x ).
It is given that the slope of the line is m
[(k – y )/ (h – x )] = m
k – y = m(h – x )
13. If three point (h, 0) , (a, b) and (0, k) lie on a line, show that a/h + b/h = 1
Solution:
IF the points A(h, 0) , B(a, b) and C(0, k) lie on a line, then
Slope of AB = slope of BC
⇒(b-0)/(a-h) = (k-b)/(0-a)
⇒ b/(a-h) = (b-k)/a
⇒ ab = (b - k)(a – h)
⇒ ka + bh = kh
On dividing both sides by kh, we obtain
⇒ ka/kh + bh/kh = kh/kh
⇒a/h + b/h = 1.
