EXERCISE COORDINATES GEOMETRY

1. Find the distance between the points P (2, 2) and Q (4, 5).

2.

The coordinate of R (2, 1) divide internally the line of AB with the

ratio 3 : 2. If coordinate of A is (1, 2), find the coordinate of B.

3. The equation of the straight lines CD and EF are 5x + y 4 = 0 and x/7y/h=1

If CD and EF are parallel, find the value of h.

4.The diagram shows a straight line PQ which meets a straight line RS at the point Q. The point Plies
on the y-axis.
(a) Write down the equation of RS in the intercept form.
(b) Given that 2RQ = QS, find the coordinates of Q.
(c) Given that PQ is perpendicular to RS, find the y-intercept of PQ.

Answer

5. The diagram shows a trapezium PQRS. Given the equation of PQ is 2y x 5 = 0, find

(a) The value of w,
(b) the equation of PS and hence find the coordinates of P.
(c) The locus of M such that triangle QMS is always perpendicular at M.
