TopicStraight Lines & Coordinate Geometry

  1. Write down the gradient of \(A B\) and hence the gradient of \(B C\). The point \(C\) has coordinates \(( 8 , k )\), where \(k\) is a positive constant.
  2. Find the length of \(B C\) in terms of \(k\). Given that the length of \(B C\) is 10 and using your answer to part (b),
  3. find the value of \(k\),
  4. find the coordinates of \(D\).
