Common questions

If the gradient is 0, line AB is horizontal, implying y-coordinates for A and B are the same. The midpoint is (1, 2), so A = (1 - 5, 2) = (-4, 2), B = (1 + 5, 2) = (6, 2), as the length = 10.

Rewriting 3y = 2 - x gives y = (-1/3)x + 2/3. Substituting x = 5 into the equation: y = (-1/3)(5) + 2/3 = -5/3 + 2/3 = -1. k = -1.

Using the distance formula, PQ = √((5 - (-1))^2 + (-1 - 3)^2) = √((6)^2 + (-4)^2) = √(36 + 16) = √52. Since √52 = 2√13, n can be found only if √13 is an integer, which it is not. Thus, an error exists, or additional context is needed.

The gradient of the original line is 3/2. A line perpendicular to it has a gradient of -2/3 (negative reciprocal). The equation of line L is y - 7 = -2/3(x - h) using the point-slope form of a line. Solving for y gives the equation of line L.

To find the midpoint M of line segment PQ, use the midpoint formula: M = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2), where P = (x1, y1) and Q = (x2, y2). Substituting the given coordinates P(2, -1) and Q(6, 13), M = ((2 + 6) / 2, (-1 + 13) / 2) = (4, 6)

Use the midpoint formula M = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2). For P(-3, 4) and Q(5, 1), M = ((-3 + 5) / 2, (4 + 1) / 2) = (1, 2.5)

The gradient of line segment PQ is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Using P(1, -3) and Q(7, 2), the gradient is (2 - (-3)) / (7 - 1) = 5/6.

First, calculate the distance AB using the formula √((7 + 1)^2 + (0 - 6)^2) = √(64 + 36) = √100 = 10. Then, calculate BC: √((-1 + 1)^2 + (6 + 4)^2) = √(0 + 100) = 10. Since AB = BC, the lengths are equal.

Using the distance formula, the length DE = √((4-e)^2 + (6-e)^2) = 20. Squaring both sides: (4-e)^2 + (6-e)^2 = 400. Expanding and simplifying gives: e^2 - 20e + 52 = 400. Rearranging gives: e^2 - 20e - 348 = 0. Solving this quadratic equation yields potential coordinates for E.

The gradient of AB is (2 - (-1))/(2 + 4) = 1/2. Line BC is perpendicular if its gradient is -2 (negative reciprocal of 1/2). If BC with known points satisfies this perpendicularity condition, then BC ⊥ AB.
