Assuming L along y-axis and C along x-axis, we have two points (124.942, 20) and (125.134, 110) in xy-plane. By two-point form, the point L and C satisfies the equation.

y-124.942=  (125.134−124.942) (110−20)  (x-20)

⇒ y-124.942= 0.19290  (x - 20)

⇒ y-124.942= 0.03215  (x - 20)

⇒ 15y – 1874.13=0.0

The slope of line passing through (0, 0) and (–2, 9) is

m1=y2−y1x2−x1=9−0−2−0=9−2

The line perpendicular to the line having slope m1 will have the slope

m2=−1m1=−1−9/2=29

So, the equation of line with slope m2 and passing (x0,y0)=(−2,9) is

m2=y−y0x−x0

⇒29=y−9x−(−2)=y−9x+2

⇒2(x+2)=9(y−9)

⇒2x+4=9y−81

⇒2x−9y+4+81=0

⇒2x−9y+85=0

Let a and b be the intercepts on x and y-axis

Then a + b = 9

⇒b=9−a  (1)

Using intercept form equation of line with a and b intercepts are

xa+yb=1

⇒xa+y9−a=1  (2)

As point (2, 2) passes the line having equation of form equation (2) we can write as

2a+29−a=1

⇒2(9−a)+2aa(9−a)=1

⇒18−2a+2a=(9−a)a

⇒18=9a−a2

⇒a2−9a+18=0

⇒a2−3a−6a+18=0

⇒a(a−3)−6(a−3)=0

⇒(a−3)(a−6)=0

So, a = 3, 6

Case I

When a = 3, b = 9 – 3 = 6. Then the equation of line is

x3+yc=1

⇒2x+y6=1

⇒2x+y=6

⇒2x+y−6=0

Case II

When a = 6,

Let the line cuts x and y axis at intercept c. Then a = b = c

Then by intercept form the equation of line is

xa+yb=1

⇒xc+yc=1

⇒x+y=c   (1)

Since equation (1) passes through point (2, 3).

Hence 2 + 3 = c

⇒c=5

So, substituting value of c in equation (1) we get

⇒x+y=5

⇒x+y−5=0

Let P(1, 0) and Q(2, 3) be the given points. Then, slope of line joining PQ,

m1=3−02−1=31=3

If A divides PQ with ratio 1:n, co-ordinate of A is

(mx2+nx1m+n,my2+ny1m+n)

=(1×2+n×11+n,1×3+n×01+n)

=(2+n1+n,31+n)

So, slope of line perpendicular to line joining points P and Q

m2=−1m1=−13

Hence, equation of line passing through point A and (perpendicular to line) joining points P and Q is given

Slope of line passing through points (2, 5) and (–3, 6) is

m1=−1m1=h

6−5−3−2=1−5

So, slope of line perpendicular to line through (2, 5) and (–3, 6) is

m2=−1 (−15)=5

∴ Equation of line with slope 5 and passing through (–3, 5) is

⇒5=y−5x− (−3)=y−5x+3

⇒5 (x+3)=y−5

⇒5x+15−y+5=0

⇒5x−y+20=0

Let RM be the median draw from vertex R so that M is the mid-point of line segment PQ. Then,

= (2−22, 1+32)= (02, 42)

= (0, 2)

So equation of line passing through R (4, 5) and M (0, 2) is

y−5=2−50−4 (x−4)

⇒y−5=−3−4 (x−4)

⇒4 (y−5)=3 (x−4)

⇒4y−20=3x−12

⇒3x−4y+20−12=0

⇒3x−4y+8=0
