ASSIGNMENT
1. Prove that the points (3, 0), (4, 5), (-1, 4) and (-2, -1), taken in order, form a
rhombus.
2. Find a point on y-axis which is equidistant from the points (5, -2) and (-3, 2).
(a) (2 , -2) , ( 8, 4) , ( 5, 7 ) , (- 1, 1)
4. If the mid- point of the line joining (3, 4) and (z, 7) is (x, y) and 2x + 2y + 1 = 0 find
the value of z.
5. Find the co- ordinates of the points which divide the line segment joining the
points (-4, 0) and (0, 6) in four equal parts.
6. Find the lengths of the medians of a ΔABC having vertices at A (0, -1), B (2, 1) and
C (0, 3).
7. Determine the ratio in which the line 2x + y - 4 = 0 divides the line segment joining
the points A (2, - 2) and B (3, 7).
8. Find the value of x such that PQ = QR where the co- ordinates of P, Q and R are
(6, -1), (1, 3) and (x, 8) respectively.

isosceles triangle.

(7, 1) and (3, 5).
14. Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points (– 3, 10) and (6, – 8) is
divided by (– 1, 6).
