Question
Find the coordinates of point A, where AB is a diameter of the circle with centre (–2, 2) and B is the point with coordinates (3, 4).
Solution
Let the centre of the circle be O.
Since AB is the diameter so, O is the midpoint of AB.
Thus, using the section formula,
`(a+3)/(2) = - 2`
⇒ `a = -4 - 3 = -7`
And
`(b + 4)/(2) = 2`
⇒ `b = 4 - 4 = 0`
So, the coordinate of point A is (-7,0).

(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.
All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.
There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
