Question 6.
Check whether AC = BD or not.
Answer:
Question 7.
Prove that P(4,5) the point on AC and BD.
Answer:
AP +PC = 4√2 = AC
∴ P (4, 5) is a point on AC .
BP + PD = √2 + √2 = 2√2 = BD
∴ P (4, 5) is also a point on BD.
Question 8.
Find a point on x-axis equidistant from A and B.
Answer:
Let (x, 0) be a point on the x axis which is at equal distance from A and B .
(2 – x)2 + (3 – 0)2= (5 – x)2 + (4 – 0)2
(2 – x)2 + 9 = (5 – x)2 + 16
(2 – x)2 + (5 – x)2 = 16 – 9
4 – 4x + x2 – 25 + 10x – x2 = 7
6x = 28
x = 28/6 = 14/3
∴ Point on x axis is (14/3,0)

Horizontal line is x-axis and vertical line is y-axis.
Point of intersection of the x- axis and y axis is called the origin O. Numbers which are above and to the right side of the origin O will be always positive while numbers on left and below the origin will be negative.
All points on the x – axis have y – coordinates zero and all points on y-axis have x- coordinates zero.
