Collinear points and parallel lines with vectors Problem set B Answers

Skills

  1. \(\overrightarrow{PT}=\frac{3}{2}\overrightarrow{PS}\), and they share P, so P, S, T are collinear

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

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

In context

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

  2. \(\overrightarrow{NH}=\overrightarrow{ML}\), so NH is parallel to ML

  3. \(\overrightarrow{DF}=3\overrightarrow{DE}\), so the points are collinear

Stretch

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

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