    This document contains 6 challenging coordinate geometry problems involving straight lines, parallelograms, perpendicular lines, slopes, and analytic proofs of relationships between line segments. The problems involve finding coordinates of points, slopes of lines, points of intersection, and ratios of line segments. Analytic approaches using properties of perpendicular and parallel lines are required to solve the problems and prove relationships between sides of a quadrilateral.

    Challenging Exercise 11

    1. In the figure, A(−3 , 1) and B(−5 , −4) are two of the


    vertices of a parallelogram ABCD, where D is a point
    on the x-axis. It is given that the diagonals AC and BD
    intersect at a point with equal x- and y-coordinates. Find
    the coordinates of C.

    2. In the figure, QR is a vertical line segment. The coordinates of Q are (6 , 9). P is a point on the
    y-axis such that P is equidistant from O, R and Q.

    (a) Find the coordinates of P and R.


    (b) Is △OPR an equilateral triangle? Explain your answer.

    3. In the figure, the coordinates of P and Q are (–4 , 3) and (0 , 7) respectively. The slope of PR is
    3 . It is given that PR = RQ. Express the slope of RQ in surd form.

    (Hint: Extend QR, QP and RP to cut the x-axis respectively.)

    4. In the figure, a pair of perpendicular lines  1 and  2 cut the y-axis at (0 , −8) and (0 , 2)
    respectively. It is given that they intersect at a point on the positive x-axis.  3 is a straight line
    passing through (20 , 10) and parallel to  1 .

    PY : YR = 2 : 1. X is the mid-point of PQ, and XR is a vertical line segment that meets QY at N.
    Find QN : NY.

    (Hint: Consider the relationship among the x-coordinates of Q, X and P.)
