Intersecting Lines

To find where two lines meet we can use simultaneous equations

For this reason it is useful to write the equations in the form Ax + By = C

Example 1

Triangle PQR has vertices P(-3,6) , Q(5,12) & R(5,2).

The median from Q meets the altitude from P at point K.

Find the equations of the median and altitude.

Hence find the co-ordinates of K.

Draw a diagram

Unit 1 Outcome 1Linear Relationships

Intersecting Lines

UsingP = (-3, 6) R = (5, 2)(1,4).

Gradient of median QK = (12 - 4) (5-1) mQK = 2

y - b = m(x - a)

y - 4 = 2(x - 1)

y - 4 = 2x - 2

2x - y = -2

mQR = (12 - 2) / (5 - 5) = 10 / 0 = undefined mPK

PK is zero

y - b = m( x - a) y - 6 = 0(x + 3)

y - 6 = 0

y = 6

To find the equation of the median QK Find the midpoint of PR

Midpoint of PR , K, is (1,4)

To find the equation of the altitude PK

Find gradient QR

To find the point of intersection of K

2x - y = -2 (A)

y = 6 (B)

Substitute y = 6 in the top equation

2x - 6 = -2

2x = 4

x = 2

Hence K is the point (2,6)

Intersecting Lines


Example 2

The points E(-1,1), F(3,3) and G(6,2) all lie on the circumference of a circle.

Find the equations of the perpendicular bisectors of EF and FG.

Hence find the co-ordinates of the centre of the circle, C.

Diagram will be something like

E(-1,1)

F(3,3)

G(6,2)

C


Midpoint of EF is A (1,2)

mEF = (3-1)/(3+1) = 1/2

y - b = m(x - a)

y - 2 = -2( x - 1)

y - 2 = -2x + 2

2x + y = 4

Find Midpoint of FG

mFG = (2-3)/(6-3) = -1/3

Perpendicular m = 3

y - b = m(x – a)

y - 2.5 = 3( x - 4.5)

y - 2.5 = 3x - 13.5

3x - y = 11

E(-1,1)

F(3,3)

G(6,2)

Perpendicular m = -2


Find the equations of the perpendicular bisectors of EF and FG.

Find Midpoint of EF UsingE = (-1, 1) F = (3, 3)

Midpoint of FG is B (4.5, 2.5)

UsingF = (3, 3) G = (6, 2)

Finding where the bisectors meet gives us the centre of the circle

Solving

2x + y = 4 (A)

3x - y = 11 (B)

5x = 15

x = 3

Substituting x = 3 into A

6 + y = 4

y = -2

Hence centre of circle at (3,-2)

E(-1,1)

F(3,3)

G(6,2)

C

2x + y = 4
