Collinear points and parallel lines with vectors Problem set A Answers

Skills

  1. \(\overrightarrow{AE}=\frac{5}{2}\overrightarrow{AD}\), and they share A, so A, D, E are collinear

  2. \(\overrightarrow{MN}=\frac{1}{2}\overrightarrow{OA}\), so they are parallel

  3. \(\overrightarrow{AC}=2\overrightarrow{AB}\), so the points are collinear

In context

  1. \(\overrightarrow{AE}=\frac{4}{3}\overrightarrow{AD}\), and they share A, so A, D, E are collinear

  2. \(\overrightarrow{DM}=\overrightarrow{CB}\), so DM is parallel to CB

  3. \(\overrightarrow{PR}=3\overrightarrow{PQ}\), so the points are collinear

Stretch

  1. \(k=\frac{2}{3}\)

  2. \(\overrightarrow{XP}=2\overrightarrow{WZ}\), so they are parallel
