A (8, -6), B (-4, 2) and C (0, -10) are vertices of a triangle ABC. If P is the mid-point of AB and Q is the mid-point of AC, use co-ordinate geometry to show that PQ is parallel to BC. Give a special name of quadrilateral PBCQ.

A line AB meets the x-axis at point A and y-axis at point B. The point P (-4, -2) divides the line segment AB internally such that AP : PB = 1 : 2. Find:

(i) the co-ordinates of A and B.

(ii) the equation of line through P and perpendicular to AB.

Find the equation of a line passing through the point (2, 3) and having the x-intercept of 4 units.
