P is the point (0, 1) and R is the point (4, 5).
angle PQR = 90°
The point Q lies on the y-axis.
The line PS is a segment of the line 2y + x = 2
The coordinates of S are (I, m).
What is 2l+ m?



Answer :

Step-by-step explanation:

To find \( 2l + m \) where \( (I, m) \) are the coordinates of point \( S \), follow these steps:

1. **Determine Coordinates of Point Q:**

Given that \( Q \) lies on the y-axis, its coordinates are \( (0, y) \).

2. **Use the Right Angle Information:**

Since \( \angle PQR = 90^\circ \), vectors \( \overrightarrow{PQ} \) and \( \overrightarrow{QR} \) are perpendicular.

- Vector \( \overrightarrow{PQ} = (0 - 0, y - 1) = (0, y - 1) \)

- Vector \( \overrightarrow{QR} = (4 - 0, 5 - y) = (4, 5 - y) \)

The dot product of \( \overrightarrow{PQ} \) and \( \overrightarrow{QR} \) should be zero:

\[

\overrightarrow{PQ} \cdot \overrightarrow{QR} = 0 \times 4 + (y - 1)(5 - y) = 0

\]

Simplify:

\[

(y - 1)(5 - y) = 0

\]

This gives two solutions:

\[

y - 1 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad 5 - y = 0

\]

\[

y = 1 \quad \text{or} \quad y = 5

\]

- If \( y = 1 \), point \( Q \) is \( (0, 1) \), which is the same as \( P \), so this is not possible.

- Therefore, \( y = 5 \). So, \( Q \) is \( (0, 5) \).

3. **Find Coordinates of Point S:**

The line \( PS \) is a segment of the line \( 2y + x = 2 \). Point \( P \) is \( (0, 1) \), so substitute \( P \) into the line equation to get the line:

\[

2 \times 1 + x = 2

\]

\[

x = 0

\]

Hence, \( P \) is on the line \( 2y + x = 2 \). Now find the coordinates of \( S \) by ensuring that \( S \) is also on this line. Let \( S \) be \( (I, m) \):

\[

2m + I = 2

\]

4. **Find Coordinates Using Kite Properties:**

In a kite, diagonals are perpendicular. Therefore, diagonals \( PR \) and \( QS \) intersect at right angles.

- Diagonal \( PR \) can be computed:

\[

\text{Slope of } PR = \frac{5 - 1}{4 - 0} = 1

\]

Hence, the line \( PR \) is \( y - 1 = 1(x - 0) \), i.e., \( y = x + 1 \).

- The diagonal \( QS \) is perpendicular to \( PR \) and should have a slope of \( -1 \) (negative reciprocal):

\[

\text{Slope of } QS = -1

\]

Given \( Q = (0, 5) \), the line equation is:

\[

y - 5 = -1(x - 0)

\]

\[

y = -x + 5

\]

5. **Find Intersection of Diagonals:**

Solve the equations:

\[

y = x + 1

\]

\[

y = -x + 5

\]

Set them equal:

\[

x + 1 = -x + 5

\]

\[

2x = 4

\]

\[

x = 2

\]

Substitute \( x = 2 \) into \( y = x + 1 \):

\[

y = 2 + 1 = 3

\]

So, \( S = (2, 3) \).

6. **Calculate \( 2l + m \):**

The coordinates of \( S \) are \( (I, m) = (2, 3) \):

\[

2l + m = 2 \times 2 + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7

\]

Hence, \( 2l + m = 7 \).
