3. Let us calculate the ratio in which the point (1, 3) divides the line segment joining the point (4, 6) and (3, 5)
Solution:
Let the line segment joining the two points (4, 6) and (3, 5) divide the point (1, 3) in the ratio
\therefore The ordinate of the point (1, 3)
=\frac{m.5+n.6}{m+n}=\frac{5 m+6 n}{m+n} \\
\therefore \frac{5 m+6 n}{m+n}=3 \\
\text { or, } 5 m+6 n=3 m+3 n \\
\text { or, } 5 m-3 m=3 n-6 n \\
\text { or, } 2 m=-3 n \\
\frac{m}{n}=-\frac{3}{2} \\
\therefore m : n =-3 : 2
\therefore The line segment joining two points (4, 6) and (3, 5) divides the point (1, 3) in the ratio 3 : 2 externally.
4. Let us calculate in what ratio is the line segment joining the points (7, 3) and (-9, 6) divided by the y-axis.
Solution:
Let the line segment joining two points (7, 3) and (-9, 6) is divided by y-axis at the point P in the ratio m : n
The abscissa of P =\frac{m \cdot(-9)+n \cdot7}{m+n}
=\frac{-9 m+7 n}{m+n}
Since P is the point is on y- axis, so x = 0
\quad \frac{-9 m+7 n}{m+n}=0 \\
\text { or }-9 m+7 n=0 \\
\text { or, }-9 m=-7 n \\
\text { or, } \frac{m}{n}=\frac{7}{9} \\
\therefore m : n = 7 : 9
The line segment joining two points (7, 3) and (-9, 6) is divided by the y-axis internally in the ratio 7 : 9. (Ans)
5. Prove that when the points A (7, 3), B (9, 6), C (10, 12) and D (8, 9) are joined in order, then they will form a parallelogram.
Solution:
We have,
A (7, 3), B (9, 6), C (10, 12), D (8, 9)
Plotting the points on the cartesian plane, we see that if form a Quadrilateral ABCD.
The Co-ordinate of mid point of diagban AC.
=(\frac{7+10}{2}, \frac{3+12}{2})=(\frac{17}{2}, \frac{15}{2})
The co-ordinate of mid point of diagonat BD
=(\frac{9+8}{2}, \frac{6+9}{2})=(\frac{17}{2}, \frac{15}{2})
Diagonal AC and BD of Quadrilateral ABCD bisect each other
\therefore ABCD is a parallelogram.(proved)
6. If the points (3, 2),(6, 3),(x, y) and (6, 5) then joined in order and form a parallelogram then let us calculate the point (x, y)
Solution:
Let \mathrm{A=(3,2), B=(6,3), C=(x, y), D(6,5)}
The co-ordinate of midpoint of diagonal AC
=(\frac{6+6}{2}, \frac{3+5}{2})=(\frac{12}{2}, \frac{1}{2})=(6,4)
\therefore ABCD is a parallelogram
\therefore Diagonal AC and BD of quadrilateral ABCD bisects each other:
\therefore \frac{x+3}{2}=6, \quad \frac{y+2}{2}=4
or, x+3=12, \quad or, y+2=8
\therefore she required point is (9, 6) (Ans)
7. If \mathrm{(x_1, y_1),(x_2 y_2),(x_3, y_3) \ and \ (x_4, y_4)} points are joined in order to form parallelogram then prove that \mathrm{x_1+x_3 = x_2+x_4 \ and \ y_1+y_3=y_2+y_4.}
Solution:
Let \mathrm{A=(x_1, y_1), B=(x_2, y_2), C=(x_3, y_3), D=(x_4, y_4)}
\because ABCD is a parallelogram
\therefore The co-ordinate of midpoint of diagonal AC
=(\frac{x_1+x_3}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_3}{2})
The co-ordinate of midpoint of diagonal BD
=(\frac{x_2+x_4}{2}, \frac{y_2+y_4}{2})
\because ABCD is a parallelogram
\therefore \frac{x_1+x_3}{2}=\frac{x_2+x_4}{2} \ \frac{y_1+y_3}{2}=\frac{y_2+y_4}{2}
or, x_1+x_3=x_2+x_4 \ y_1+y_3=y_2+y_4 (proved)

Solution:
AD is median of \triangle A B C
\therefore D is mid point of BC
\therefore The co-ordinate of mid point of diagonal BC =(\frac{5+1}{2}, \frac{1-1}{2})
=(\frac{6}{2}, 0) \\
= (3, 0)
\therefore A D =\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(3-0)^2} \\
=\sqrt{(-4)^2+(3)^2} \\
=\sqrt{16+9} \\
=\sqrt{25} \\
= 5 units (Ans)
9. The co-ordinates of vertices of triangle are (2, -4)(6, -2) and (-4, 2) respectively. Let us find the length of three medians of triangle.
Solution:
Let A = (2, -4), B = (6, -2), C = (-4, 2)
D is the mid point of BC
E is the mid point of AC
F is the mid point of AB
\therefore The co-ordinate of mid point of B C=(\frac{6-4}{2}, \frac{-2+2}{2})=(\frac{2}{2}, \frac{0}{2})=(1,0)
\therefore The co-ordinate of mid point of A C=(\frac{2-4}{2}, \frac{-4+2}{2})=(\frac{-2}{2}, \frac{-2}{2})=(-1,-1)
\therefore The co-ordinate of mid point of A B=(\frac{6+2}{2}, \frac{-4-2}{2})=(\frac{8}{2},-\frac{6}{2})=(4,-3)
AD =\sqrt{(2-1)^2+(-4-0)^2} \\
=\sqrt{1+16}=\sqrt{17} \text { units (Ans) } \\
BE =\sqrt{(6+1)^2+(-2+1)^2} \\
=\sqrt{49+1}=\sqrt{50} \text { units (Ans) } \\

10. The co-ordinate of mid point of sides of a triangle are (4, 3),(-2, 7) and (0, 11). Let us calculate the co-ordinate of its vertices.
Solution:
Let D = (4, 3), E = (-2, 7), F = (0, 11)
\therefore D, E and F are the mid points of BC, AC and AB respectively.
Let \mathrm{A=(x_1, y_1), \quad B=(x_2, y_2), \quad C =(x_3, \mathrm{y}_3)}
D is the mid point of BC
\frac{x_2+x_3}{2}=4 \quad, \quad \frac{y_2+y_3}{2}=3 \\
or, x_2+x_3 = 8 -------- (i) \quad y_2+y_3 = 6 --------- (ii)
E is the mid point of AC
\frac{x_1+x_3}{2}=-2 \quad, \quad \frac{y_1+y_3}{2}=7 \\
x_1+x_3=-4---------(iii) \quad y_1+y_3=14---------(iv)
F is mid point of AB,
=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}=0 \quad \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}=11
x_1+x_2=0 ------ (v) \quad y_1+y_2=22 -------- (vi)
(i) + (iii) + (v) gives
2(x_1+x_2+x_3)=4
\text { or, } x_1+x_2+x_3=2 -------- (vii)
(ii) + (iv) + (vi) gives
2(y_1+y_2+y_3)=42
\text { or, } y_1+y_2+y_3=21----------(viii )
\mathrm{(vii) - (i) gives, \quad (viii) - (ii) gives}
x_1=-6, \quad y_1=15
\mathrm{(vii) - (iii) gives, \quad (viii) - (iv) gives}
x_2=6, \quad y_2=7
\mathrm{(vii) - (v) gives, \quad (viii) - (vi) gives}
x_3 = 2, \quad y_3=-1
\therefore A = (-6, 15), B = (6, 7), C = (2, -1)
\therefore These are the three vertices of the triangle (Ans)
