If one of the diagonals of the square is along the line x2y
If one of the diagonals of the square is along the line x=2y and one of the vertices is (3,0),then the sides through this vertex are given by the equation:-
Solution
test the equations using the point (3, 0).
Begin by testing the first equation in each set.
A and C:
The line for the equation y - 3x + 9 = 0 includes the point (3, 0). You can check this using substitution.
y - 3x + 9 = 0
0 - 3 * 3 + 9 = 0
0 - 9 + 9 = 0
0 = 0 (true)
B:
The line for the equation y + 3x + 9 = 0 does not include the point (3, 0). You can check this using substitution.
y + 3x + 9 = 0
0 + 3 * 3 + 9 = 0
0 + 9 + 9 = 0
18 = 0 (false)
D:
The line for the equation y - 3x + 3 = 0 does not include the point (3, 0). You can check this using substitution.
y - 3x + 3 = 0
0 - 3 * 3 + 3 = 0
0 - 9 + 3 = 0
-6 = 0 (false)
Now your choices are narrowed down to either A or C. Test the second equation for both choices.
A:
3y + x - 3 = 0
3 * 0 + 3 - 3 = 0
0 + 0 = 0
0 = 0 (true)
C:
3y - x + 3 = 0
3 * 0 - 3 + 3 = 0
0 - 3 + 3 = 0
0 = 0 (true)
Both A and C are correct.
