Exercise 5.2

Question 1.
Find the distance between the following pairs of points.
(i) (-4, 0) and (3, 0)
(ii) (-7, 2) and (5, 2)
Solution:
(i) The points (-4, 0) and (3, 0) lie on the x-axis. Hence,

(ii) The points (5,2) and (-7,2) lie on a line parallel to the x-axis. Hence the distance

Question 2.
Show that the three points (4, 2), (7, 5) and (9, 7) lie on a straight line.
Solution:
Let the points be A(4, 2), B(7, 5) and C(9, 7). By the distance formula.

Hence the points A, B and C are collinear.

Question 3.
Determine whether the points are vertices of a right triangle A(-3, -4), B(2, 6) and C (-6, 10).
Solution:

Hence ABC is a right angled triangle since the square of one side is equal to sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Question 4.
Show that the points (a, a), (-a, -a) and (−a√3,a√3) form an equilateral triangle.
Solution:
Let the points be represented by A (a, a), B(-a, -a) and C(−a√3,a√3) using the distance formula.

Since all the sides are equal the points form an equilateral triangle.

Question 5.
Prove that the points (-7, -3), (5, 10), (15, 8) and (3, -5) taken in order are the corners of a parallelogram.
Solution:
Let A, B, C and D represent the points (-7, -3), (5, 10), (15, 8) and (3, -5) respectively.

i.e. The opposite sides are equal. Hence ABCD is a parallelogram.

Question 6.
Show that the following points A (3, 1) B(6, 4) and C(8, 6) lies on a straight line.
Solution:
Using the distance formula, we have

Therefore the points lie on a straight line.

Question 7.
If the distance between the points (5, -2), (1, a) is 5 units. Find the value of a.

Solution:
