1mark questions:
1. Find the value of ‘a’ so that the point (3, a) lies on the line represented by 2x – 3y =5.
2. If the midpoint of the line segment joining the points P (6, b-2) and Q (-2, 4) is (2, -3), find the
value of b.
3. If the points A (4,3) and B(x,5) are on the circle with the centre O (2,3), find the value of x.
4. Find the distance between the points A (2a, 6a) and B (2a+√3a, 5a)
5. If A (0,0), B (3, √3) and C (3, k) are vertices of an equilateral triangle, then find the value of k.

8. Three consecutive vertices of a parallelogram are (-2,1), (1.0) and (4,3). Find the coordinates of
the fourth vertex.
9. If point C (-1,2) divides the line segment AB in the ratio 3:4, where the coordinates of A are
(2,5), find the coordinates of B.
10. Find the area of a rhombus whose vertices taken in order are the points (3,0), (4,5) (-1,4) and
(-2, -1).

(3,7). Also find the value of y.
15. Find the ratio in which the point (x,2) divides the line segment joining the points A (-3, -4) and
B (3,5). Also find the value of x.
16. The centre of a circle is (2α-1, 7) and it passes through the point (-3, -1). If the diameter of the
circle is 20 units, then find the values of α.
17. If A (1,2), B (4,3) and C (6,6) are the vertices of a parallelogram ABCD, find the coordinates of

origin is the midpoint of the base. Find the coordinates of the points A and B. Also find the
coordinates of another point
21. Find the centroid of triangle ABC whose vertices are A (-1,0), B (5, -2) and C (8,2).
22. Find the third vertex of a triangle ABC if two of its vertices are B (-3,1) and C (0, -2) and its
centroid is at the origin.
NOTE: Centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of the medians of a triangle.

ABC is:
