Question

The co-ordinate of a point P is 3. The co-ordinate of a point Q on the same line is q. If
d(P, Q) = 5 and q < 0, then find the value of q.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of point Q is (a,b), O(0,0) is the origin (Given)

OP=OQ (given)

Since O is the origin,

2

−3+a

=0

a=3 ,

2

2+b

=0

b=−2

Coordinates of Q=(3,−2)

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the coordinates of point Q is (a,b), O(0,0) is the origin (Given)

OP=OQ (given)

Since O is the origin,

2−3+a=0a=3 ,                         22+b=0b=−2

Coordinates of Q=(3,−2)
