The diagram shows the straight lines 𝐴𝐵 and 𝐵𝐶 are perpendicular to each other. The equation of
the straight line is 2𝑥 − 𝑦 − 5 = 0.
a) Find
i. The equation of the straight line 𝐴𝐵 in the general form

2𝑥 − 𝑦 − 5 = 0
𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 5

∴ 𝑚1 = 2
Since 𝐴𝐵 and 𝐵𝐶 is perpendicular,
𝑚1 × 𝑚2 = −1
2 × 𝑚2 = −1

𝑚2 = −

𝑥 = −1

Since 𝑥 = −1, 𝑦 = 2(−1) − 5 = −7

∴ 𝐵(−1, −7)
b) The straight line 𝐴𝐵 is produced to point 𝐷 such that 𝐴𝐵: 𝐵𝐷 = 2: 3. Calculate the area of
triangle 𝐴𝐷𝑂.

Assume that point 𝐷 has a coordinate (𝑎, 𝑏)

3(−9) + 2(𝑎) 3(−3) + 2(𝑏)

𝐷(−1, −7) = ( , )

∴ 𝐷(𝑎, 𝑏) = (11, −13)

c) A point 𝑃 moves such that its distance from point A is always 2 units. Find the equation of the
locus of P.

(𝑥 − (−9)) + (𝑦 − (−3)) = (2)2
(𝑥 + 9)2 + (𝑦 + 3)2 = 4

𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 18𝑥 + 6𝑦 + 86 = 0
