Worked practice questions

The distance between two points $P(x_1,y_1)$ and $Q(x_2,y_2)$ is

  1. $(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2$
  2. $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)+(y_2-y_1)}$
  3. $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$
  4. $|x_2-x_1|+|y_2-y_1|$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

1. The distance formula comes from the Pythagoras theorem. 2. $PQ=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$. 3. The square root is essential; without it the value would be the square of the distance. _Source: Karnataka SSLC (KSEEB) Class 10 Mathematics, Ch7 'Coordinate Geometry', §7.2_

The distance of a point $P(x,y)$ from the origin is

  1. $x+y$
  2. $x^2+y^2$
  3. $\sqrt{x+y}$
  4. $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

1. The origin is $O(0,0)$. 2. Using the distance formula: $OP=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2}=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$. 3. So the distance from the origin is $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$. _Source: Karnataka SSLC (KSEEB) Class 10 Mathematics, Ch7 'Coordinate Geometry', §7.2_

The mid-point of the line segment joining $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is

  1. $\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$
  2. $\left(x_1+x_2,\ y_1+y_2\right)$
  3. $\left(\dfrac{x_1-x_2}{2},\ \dfrac{y_1-y_2}{2}\right)$
  4. $\left(x_1 x_2,\ y_1 y_2\right)$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. $\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

1. The mid-point divides the segment in the ratio 1:1. 2. Its coordinates are the averages: $\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$. 3. This is a special case of the section formula. _Source: Karnataka SSLC (KSEEB) Class 10 Mathematics, Ch7 'Coordinate Geometry', §7.3_
