- Show that the points A(2, -2), B(14, 10), C(11, 13) and D(-1, 1) are the vertices of a rectangle.
- Determine the ratio in which the points (6, a) divides the join of A(-3, -1) and B(-8, 9). Also find the value of a.
- Find the point on the x-axis which is equidistant from the points (-2, 5) and (2, -3).
