What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line joining A(5, 1) and P where P is the mid-point of the segment joining (4, 2) and (–6, 4).

उत्तर

Mid-point of XY = `((x_1 + x_2)/2, (y_1 + y_2)/2)` 

= `((4 - 6)/2, (2 + 4)/2)`

= `((-2)/2, 6/2)`

= `(– 1, 3)`


Slope of a line = `(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

= `(3 - 1)/(-1 - 5)`

= `(2)/(-6)`

= `(-1)/3`

Slope of the line ⊥' to AP = `(-1)/"slope of AP"`

= `(-1)/(-1/3)`

= 3
