If A(0, 0), b(2, 4) and C(6, 4) are the vertices of a ΔABC, find the equations of its sides.

Using two point form equation of lines AB, BC and AC can be find. Now A is origin so the lines passing through A (origin) are simply y = mx so we have to find slope of AB and AC.

For line AB,



m = 2


So, the equation of line AB is y = 2x.


For line AC,




Now using y = mx



So, the equation of line AC is 2x - 3y = 0.


Now for line BC, the y coordinate of both is same means horizontal line (parallel to the x - axis) then the equation of line BC is given as


y = 4


So, the required equations of lines for AB: y = 2x


AC: 2x - 3y = 0


BC: y = 4
