प्रश्न

Find the slope of the line passing through the points G(4, 5) and H (–1, –2).

उत्तर

The slope of the line passing through the points 

\[\left( x_1 , y_1 \right) and \left( x_2 , y_2 \right)\]
\[\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]
∴ Slope of the line passing through the points G(4, 5) and H (–1, –2) =
\[\frac{- 2 - 5}{- 1 - 4} = \frac{- 7}{- 5} = \frac{7}{5}\]

Solution:

Slope of line = `("y"_2 - "y"_1)/("x"_2 - "x"_1)`

∴ Slope of line AB = `(2 - 1)/(8 - 6) = square` .......(i)

∴ Slope of line BC = `(4 - 2)/(9 - 8) = square` .....(ii)

∴ Slope of line CD = `(3 - 4)/(7 - 9) = square` .....(iii)

∴ Slope of line DA = `(3 - 1)/(7 - 6) = square` .....(iv)

∴ Slope of line AB = `square` ......[From (i) and (iii)]

∴ line AB || line CD

∴ Slope of line BC = `square` ......[From (ii) and (iv)]

∴ line BC || line DA

Both the pairs of opposite sides of the quadrilateral are parallel.

∴ `square`ABCD is a parallelogram.


Determine whether the following points are collinear. A(–1, –1), B(0, 1), C(1, 3)

Given: Points A(–1, –1), B(0, 1) and C(1, 3)

Slope of line AB = `(square - square)/(square - square) = square/square` = 2

Slope of line BC = `(square - square)/(square - square) = square/square` = 2

Slope of line AB = Slope of line BC and B is the common point.

∴ Points A, B and C are collinear.
