The mid-point of the line joining ( k , 2h ) and ( 9k , 6h + 2 ) is ( 20, 11) . Find the value of k and of h. The distance between ( 2, 7 ) and ( a, 2 ) is 41 units. Find the value of a if it is positive.

The point P ( x, y ) lies on the line 7 y = x + 23 and is 5 units from the point ( 2, 0 ) . Calculate the coordinates of the two possible positions of P. A line passes through the points ( 8, 5 ) , ( 4, 3) and ( a,12 ) . Find the value of a. If P ( 2, 0 ) , Q ( a, 2 ) , R ( 1,1) , S ( 3, b ) are the vertices of a parallelogram PQRS, calculate the value of a and b. The vertices A and B of Triangle ABC are A ( 3,5 ) and B ( 4, 7 ) . The midpoint M of AC lies on the yaxis. The midpoint N of BC lies on the x-axis. (a) Find the coordinates if C, M and N. (b) Find the equations of the lines AB and MN. (c) Show MN is parallel to AB. In the diagram below, AC and BD are diameters of the circle with centre G. The points A, C, and D are ( 1, 1) , ( 7,5 ) and ( 0, 6 ) respectively. (a) Find the coordinates of G and B.
