Question
The diagram shows a plan view of a paddock
over which a Cartesian framework has been
Scale:
1 unit = 10 m
superimposed. From an observation point O,
a rabbit has been spotted first at A(0, 2) and
then at B(4, 6). A fox is seen at C(3,0) and
irrigation channel
10
later at D(5, 4).
a Find the equations of the lines AB and CD.
B
b Assuming that both the rabbit and the fox
were running along straight lines, calculate
whether the fox's path would cross the
5-
rabbit's track before the irrigation channel.
