Gradient formula should be used for the second 1....but for the first one i think we need to used distance formula....they did something else.....

so aadi....could u use the distance formula FOR the first one ??

@alpha-i know he asked for the 2nd one ans I know the stuff.....I was asking abt the first part cuz I used the distance formula for the first one and got a different answer

which distance formula?

arree

root of (x+x1)2+(y+y1)2=AB

its sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2)

k = 26...

Which answer you got??

There are 2 answers... k = - 14 and k = 26.

-14 is negative; rejected.

ok..

first. --> AB=OB - OA = 4i + 6j

--> BC = OC - OB = (k-6)i + 15j

BC = x(AB)

(k-6)i + 15j = 4xi + 6xj

k-6 = 4x
6x = 15

x = 2.5

--

k-6 = 4*2.5 = 10

therefore --> k =16


check this

If ABC is a str. line,

     AB = hBC, where h is a constant.

AB= OB- OA

BC = OC - OB

Continues in the attachment... I allways have problem explaining answers here... Formatting is confusing... Anyway, see the attachment.
