Coordinate geometry in two dimensions：练习题

A circle has the equation \(x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 6y - 12 = 0\). Find the coordinates of the center and the length of the radius of the circle.

The line segment joining the points \(A(1, 2)\) and \(B(5, 10)\) is the diameter of a circle. Find the equation of the circle.

The line \( y = x + k \) is a tangent to the circle \( x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 4y - 3 = 0 \). Calculate the possible values of \( k \).

A triangle has vertices at A\( (1, 2) \), B\( (5, 4) \) and C\( (k, 8) \). Given that the area of triangle ABC is 10 square units and \( k > 0 \), find the value of \( k \).

A relationship between \( x \) and \( y \) is given by \( y = Ae^{bx} \), where \( A \) and \( b \) are constants. When \( \ln y \) is plotted against \( x \), a straight line passing through the points \( (0, 2) \) and \( (4, 10) \) is obtained. Determine the values of \( A \) and \( b \).

Find the area of the quadrilateral with vertices at \(A(1, 1)\), \(B(5, 2)\), \(C(4, 6)\), and \(D(0, 4)\).

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining \(A(-2, 5)\) and \(B(6, -1)\), and hence determine the equation of the line passing through this midpoint that is perpendicular to the line \(y = \frac{1}{2}x + 4\).

Find the possible values of the constant \(k\) for which the line \(y = 2x + k\) is a tangent to the circle \(x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 2y + 1 = 0\).

A circle has equation \(x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 6y - 12 = 0\).
(a) Find the coordinates of the center and the radius of the circle.
(b) Determine whether the point \(P(5, 1)\) lies inside, outside, or on the circle.

The vertices of a triangle are \(A(-1, 3)\), \(B(5, 1)\), and \(C(3, 7)\).
(a) Find the gradient of \(AB\).
(b) Find the equation of the line passing through \(C\) that is perpendicular to \(AB\).
