Question:

The points A and B have coordinates (4, 6) and (12, 2) respectively. The straight line l1 passes through A and B.

a. Find an equation for l1 in the form ax + by + c = 0, where a, b and c are integers. The straight line l2 passes through the origin and has gradient −2/3.

b. Write down an equation for l2. The lines l1 and l2 intersect at the point C.

c. Find the coordinates of C. (2 marks)

d. Show that the lines OA and OC are perpendicular, where O is the origin. (2 marks)

e. Work out the lengths of OA and OC . Write your answers in the form k√13. 

f. Hence calculate the area of △OAC.
