PQRS is a parralelogram. the position vector of Q R and S are 5i +7j, -3i-8j and -4i-6j. find the position vector of P

Sagot :

The value of the variable x = 6 and y = 5. Then the position vector of P will be 6i + 5j.

What is the equation of a line passing through two points?

The equation of line is given as

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

PQRS is a parallelogram. the position vector of Q R and S are 5i +7j, -3i-8j and -4i-6j.

Then the point of Q, R, and S will be (5, 7), (-3, -8), and (-4, -6).

Let the point P be (x, y).

We know that the slope of the line QS and PQ will be same and line is passing through (-3, -8).

y = 1.444x + C

-8 = 1.444 (-3) + C

C = -3.667

Then the equation will be

y = 1.444x – 3.667  …1

The slope of the line PQ and RS will be same and line is passing through (5, 7).

y = -2x + D

7 = -2 (5) + D

D = 17

Then the equation will be

y = -2x + 17  …2

By solving equation 1 and 2, we have

x = 6 and y = 5

Then the position vector of P will be

⇒ 6i + 5j

The graph is given below.
