Straight Lines VSAQ 2 Mark Questions
1. Prove that the points (1,11),(2,15)&(-3,-5) are collinear and find the
equation of the straight line containing them
Solution: Let A=(1,11),B=(2,15),C =(-3,-3)
Is-11
Slope of AB =
Slope of AC =
Slope of AB =Slope of AC
Hence the given points are collinear
Equation of ABis (y—y,)=m(x-x)
(y-11)=4(x=1)
4x-4-y+l1=0
4x-y+7=0
2. Find the condition for the points (a,0),(#,) & (0,5) to be collinear. Where
ab#0
Solution: Let 4=(a,0),B=(h,k),C =(0,b)
Given points are Collinear
