Question 117

The length of the intercept made by the line which passes through the points (2, 5) and (-4, 8) between the coordinate axesis

Solution

A/q

Here A = (2,5) and B = (-4,8)

intercept lenght = CD = AE.

Also , AEB is a right angle triangle right angled at E.

So ACC. to pythagoras theorem

$$\sqrt{\ BA^{2\ }-\ BE^2}\ =\ AE$$ = CD
