2) the line AB has equation 3x - 4y + 5 = 0 

a) the point with coordinates (p, p+2) lies on the line AB. Find the value of the constant P

b) find the gradient of AB

c) the point A has coordinates (1,2). The point C (-5, k) is such that AC is perpendicular to AB. Find the value of K. 

D) the line AB intersects the line with equation 2x - 5y = 6 at the point D. Find the coordinates of D

a)  x=p, y=p+23(p)4(p+2)+5=03p4p+8=0p+8=0p=8

 

b) There are a few ways to do this.  I'd rewrite the equation for AB as

 

3x4y+5=04y=3x+5y=34s+54and you can read the gradient right off as m=34

 

c) The key here is that the product of the slopes over perpendicular lines is -1.

 

mAC=k251=k26we know from (a) that mAB=34mACmAB=1k2634=13k624=13k=30k=10

 

d)

AB:y=34x+542x5y=6:y=25x6534x+54=25x6515820x=24+2520720x=4920x=7y=25(7)65=205=4D=(x,y)=(7,4)
