1. (a) 2:3

2. (d) 3x + y – 7 =0

3. (a) (2, 0)

Let P (x, 0) be the point on x axis .

4. (a) √𝟔𝟏 units from the origin

5. (c) both (a) and (b)
By distance formula,

thus we get the values of p as 0 and 6

6. (d) IV quadrant

7. (b) −1
8. (c) √𝟑𝟒 units
9. (b) 12 units
Perimeter = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12

10. (b) Isosceles triangle

Let ABC be a triangle with the co-coordinates of each side as A(-3,0),B(0,5) & C(3,0)
Using distance formula we will get,
AB=54 units
BC=54 units
and AC=6units
This shows that ABC is an isosceles triangle.
