Question 5.
Without using distance formula, show that the points (-2, -1) , (4, 0) , (3, 3) and (-3, 2) are vertices of a parallelogram.
Solution:
Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Unit Exercise 5 7
Slope of AB = Slope of CD
Slope of BC = Slope of DA
Hence ABCD forms a parallelogram.

Question 9.
Find the equation of a line passing through the point of intersection of the lines 4x + 7y – 3 = 0 and 2x – 3y + 1 = 0 that has equal intercepts on the axes.
Solution:
4x + 7y – 3 = 0
2x – 3y + 1 = 0
4x + 7y – 3 – 2(2x – 3y + 1) = 0
