Chapter 5 – Co-ordinate Geometry

1. Using analytical geometry prove that the diagonals of a rhombus are

perpendicular to each other.
2. Two opposite vertices of a square are (-1, 2) and (3, 2). Find the
coordinate of other two vertices.
3. If two vertices of equilateral triangle be (0, 0) and (3,√3). Find the third
vertex.
4. The position of a straight line intercepted between the axes is bisected at
the point (-3, 2). Find its equation.
5. Find the co-ordinates of orthocenter of the triangle formed by the straight
line x – y – 5 = 0; 2x – y – 8 = 0 and 3x – y – 9 = 0.
6. In an isosceles triangle PQR, PQ = PR. The base QR lies on the x – axis
and P lies on the y – axis and 2x – 3y + 9 = 0 is the equation of PQ. Find
the equation of the straight line along PR.
7. If x + 2y = 7 and 2x + y = 8 are the equations of the lines of two
diameters of circle, find the radius of the circle if the point (0, -2) lies on
the circle.
8. Find the co-ordinates of the point on the line 7x - 6y = 20 for which the
ordinate is double the abscissa.
9. Find the equation of the line which is inclined at 135° with the negative
direction of the x-axis and passes through the point (1, 2).
10. If the inclination of the line y – 1 = ax + a2 is 45°, find its y-intercept.
