## Class 10 Ex 7.2

Co-ordinate Geometry Class 10

#### Question 1 from Class 10 Ex. 7.2

Find the co-ordinate of the point which divides (-1,7) and (4,-3) in the ratio 2:3.

Solution: Co-ordinate of the point which divides the line joing the points (-1,7) and (4,-3) in the ratio 2:3 is

= ( $\cfrac{4.2 + (-1).3}{2 + 3}$ , $\cfrac{(-3).2 + 7.3}{2 + 3}$ )

= ( $\cfrac{5}{5}$ , $\cfrac{15}{5}$ )

= ( 1, 3 )

So, The required point is ( 1, 3 ).

Note: If you find this page from google and see some coding like “\cfrac”, please kindly to see the original page and the solutions.

#### Question 2 from Class 10 Ex 7.2

Find the co-ordinate of the points of trisection of the line segment joining ( 4, -1 ) and (-2, -3).

Solution: Let P and Q be the points the points of trisection of the line segment joining A( 4, -1 ) and B(-2, -3)

For P, ratio is AP : PB= 1:2

So, co-ordinate of P is

=( $\cfrac{(-2).1 + 4.2}{1 + 2}$ , $\cfrac{(-3).1 + (-1).2}{1 + 2}$ )

= ( $\cfrac{6}{3}$ , $\cfrac{-5}{3}$ )

= ( 2 , – $\cfrac{5}{3}$ )

For Q point ratio is, AQ : QB = 2 : 1

So, co-ordinate of Q is

= ( $\cfrac{(-2).2 + 4.1}{2 + 1}$ , $\cfrac{(-3).2 + (-1).1}{2 + 1}$ )

= ( $\cfrac{0}{3}$ , $\cfrac{-7}{3}$ )

= ( 0, – $\cfrac{7}{3}$ )

#### Question 3 from class 10 Ex 7.2

Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points ( -3, 10 ) and (6,-8) is divided by (-1,6)

Solution: Let the ratio be m:n

So, Co-ordinate of the point which intersect (-3,10) and (6,-8) in m:n ratio is = (-1,6)

⇒ ( $\cfrac{6m + (-3)n}{m+n}$ , $\cfrac{(-8)m + 10n}{m+n}$ ) = ( -1, 6 )

Therefore, $\cfrac{6m -3n}{m+n}$ = -1

⇒ 6m – 3n = -m -n

⇒ 7m = 2n OR $\cfrac{m}{n}$ = $\cfrac{2}{7}$

So, m : n = 2 : 7

Hence, Required ratio is 2 : 7

#### Question 5 from Class 10 Ex 7.2

Find the ratio in which the line segment joining A( 1, -5 ) and B( -4, 5 ) is divided by the X axis. Also find the co-ordinate of the point of division.

Solution: Let the point P( x, 0 ) which is on x-axis, divides the line joining A( 1, -5 ) and B( -4, 5 ) in m:n ratio.

So, ( $\cfrac{-4.m + 1.n}{m+n}$ , $\cfrac{5.m + (-5).n}{m+n}$ ) = ( x, 0 )

Hence, $\cfrac{-4.m + 1.n}{m+n}$ = x ————(i)

and $\cfrac{5.m -5.n}{m+n}$ = 0

⇒ 5m – 5n = 0

⇒ 5m = 5n

Hence m : n = 5 : 5 = 1 : 1

Now, From equation (i), by putting m = 1 & n = 1 we get,

$\cfrac{-4.1 + 1.1}{1+1}$ = x

⇒ x = $\cfrac{-3}{2}$

Hence, Required co-ordinate of the point on the x axis is (0, $\cfrac{-3}{2}$ ) and this point divides the given line in 1 : 1 ratio.

#### Question 6 from class 10 Ex 7.2

If ( 1, 2 ), ( 4, y ), ( x, 6 ) and ( 3, 5 ) are the vertices of a parallelogram taken in order, find x and y.

Solution:

The given points ( 1, 2 ), ( 4, y ), ( x, 6 ) and ( 3, 5 ) are the vertices of a parallelogram taken in order.

We know that, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisects each other. Which means, mid points of the diagonals are same.

So,

Mid point of the line joining (1,2) and (x,6) = Mid point of the line joining (4,y) and (3,5)

⇒( $\cfrac{1+x}{2}$ , $\cfrac{2+6}{2}$ ) = ( $\cfrac{4+3}{2}$ , $\cfrac{y+5}{2}$ )

Hence, $\cfrac{1+x}{2}[/latex ] = [latex]\cfrac{7}{2}$

⇒ 2 + 2x = 14

⇒ 2x = 12

⇒ x = 6

And, $\cfrac{2+6}{2}$ = $\cfrac{y+5}{2}$

⇒2y + 10 = 16

⇒ 2y = 6

⇒ y = 3

Hence, value of x = 6 and y = 3

#### Question 7 from class 10 Ex 7.2

Find the Co-ordinate of the point A where AB is the diameter of a circle whose centre is (2, -3) and B is (1,4).

Solution:

Let, (x,y) be the Co-ordinate of the point A.

We know, centre is the mid point of diameter.

So, Mid point of (x,y) and (1,4) = (2,-3)

⇒ ( $\cfrac{x + 1}{2}$ , $\cfrac{y + 4}{2}$ = ( 2, -3)

So, $\cfrac{x + 1}{2}$ = 2

⇒ x + 1 = 4  ⇒ x = 3

And, $\cfrac{y + 4}{2}$ = -3

⇒ y + 4 = -6

⇒ y = -10

Hence, required value of x = 3 & y = -10

#### Question 8 from Class 10 Ex 7.2

If A and B are (-2, -2) and (2, -4) respectively, find the Co-ordinate of P such that AP = $\cfrac{3}{7}$AB and P lies on the line segment AB

Solution: Here,

AP = $\cfrac{3}{7}$AB

Clearly, PB = $\cfrac{4}{7}$AB

Hence, AP : PB = 3 : 4

So, Co-ordinate of the point which bisects A( -2, -2 ) and B( 2, -4 ) at 3 : 4 is

= ( $\cfrac{2.3 + (-2).4}{3 + 4}$ , $\cfrac{(-4).3 + (-2).4}{3 + 4}$ )

= ( $\cfrac{-2}{7}$ , $\cfrac{-20}{7}$ )

Hence, required Co-ordinate of the point A( $\cfrac{-2}{7}$ , $\cfrac{-20}{7}$ )

#### Question 9 from Class 10 Ex 7.2

Find the Co-ordinate of the points which divides the line segment joining A( -2, 2 ) and B( 2, 8 ) into four equal parts.

Solution:

Let the points be P, Q, R be the points which intersects the line AB into four parts.

For point P, AP: PB = 1 : 3

So, Co-ordinate of P is

= ( $\cfrac{2.1 + (-2).3}{1 + 3}$ , $\cfrac{8.1 + 2.3}{1 + 3}$ )

= ( $\cfrac{-4}{4}$ , $\cfrac{14}{4}$ )

= ( -1 , $\cfrac{7}{2}$ )

For point Q, AQ : QB = 2 : 2

So, Co-ordinate of Q is

= ( $\cfrac{2.2 + (-2).2}{2 + 2}$ , $\cfrac{8.2 + 2.2}{2 + 2}$ )

= ( $\cfrac{0}{4}$ , $\cfrac{20}{4}$ )

= ( 0 , 5 )

For Point R, AR : RB = 3 : 1

So, Co-ordinate of R is

= ( $\cfrac{2.3 + (-2).1}{3 + 1}$ , $\cfrac{8.3 + 2.1}{3 + 1}$ )

= ( $\cfrac{4}{4}$ , $\cfrac{26}{4}$ )

= ( 1 , $\cfrac{13}{2}$ )

Therefore, The required points are ( -1 , $\cfrac{7}{2}$ ) , ( 0, 5 ) and ( 1 , $\cfrac{13}{2}$ ) respectively.

#### Question 10 from class 10 Ex 7.2

Find the area of a rhombus if its vertices are  ( 3, 0), ( 4, 5), ( -1, 4) and ( -2, -1) taken in order.

Solution: Let the four points be A( 3, 0), B( 4, 5), C( -1, 4) and D( -2, -1)

Hence, AC = $\sqrt{ (3 - (-1))^2 + (0 - 4)^2}$

= $\sqrt{ 4^2 + 4^2}$

= 4$\sqrt{2}$

BD = $\sqrt{ (4 - (-2))^2 + (5 - (-1))^2}$

= $\sqrt{ 6^2 + 6^2}$

= 6$\sqrt{2}$

Therefore, Area of the Rhombus is

= $\cfrac{1}{2}$ × AC × BD

= $\cfrac{1}{2}$ × 4$\sqrt{2}$ × 6$\sqrt{2}$

= 24 sq. units

Hence, Required area of the Rhombus is 24 Sq. units.

## Formulae Used in Class 10 maths Ex 7.2

Below, we have discussed the two Special formulae used in this exercise.

### Section Formula

The formula, using which, we can find the Co-ordinate of a point, which intersects any line in some particular ratio, is known as the section Formula in Co-ordinate Geometry. It’s one of the most interesting and most important formula from Co-ordinate Geometry for class 10. The formula is given bellow:

Let us consider any two points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2). Let us take that any point P intersects the line joining A and B in a particular ratio m : n. Then the Co-ordinate of the point P is-

 ( $\cfrac{m.x2 + n.x1}{m + n}$ , $\cfrac{m.y2 + n.y1}{m + n}$ )

So, using this formula, we can get the Co-ordinate of the intersected point.

### Mid Point Formula

This formula is just a sub-formula or a special case of section Formula. Using this, we can get the midle point of any line joining two Co-ordinate points.

Let (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) be any two points. Then the midle point of the line, joining these two points, is given by –

 ( $\cfrac{x1 + x2}{2}$ , $\cfrac{y1 + y2}{2}$ )

## Some Co-ordinate Geometry G.K.

• Co-ordinate of origin is (0, 0)

• Co-ordinate of a point on Y-axis is (0, y)
• Distant from X-axis to (x, y) point is = y unites

• Co-ordinate of a point in 2st Quadrant = (-x, y)
• Co-ordinate of a point in 3st Quadrant = (-x, -y)
• Co-ordinate of a point in 4st Quadrant = (x, -y)
• Equation of a X- axis is: y = 0
