Answer» A (3,4) and B(7,7) and C(x,y) or C'(x,y) are collinear points.AB =√[(7-3)²+(7-4)²] = 5AC = 10, given. Slope of AC = slope of AB = (7-4)/(7-3) = 3/4=> (y-4)/(x-3) = 3/4 --- (1)=> 4 y - 3 x = 7 --- (2) AC² = 10² = (y - 4)² + (x - 3)² = [ 3/4 * (x - 3) ]² + (x-3)² using (1) = (x-3)² * 25/16=> x - 3 = + 8=> x = +11 or -5 => y = (7+3x)/4 by (2) = 10 or -2 C = (11, 10) and C' = (-5, -2) |
