The area of the triangle formed by intersection of a line parallel to $$x$$-axis and passing through $$P (h, k)$$ with the lines $$y = x $$ and $$x + y = 2$$ is $$4{h^2}$$. Find the locus of the point $$P$$.
Answer

A straight line $$L$$ with negative slope passes through the point $$(8, 2)$$ and cuts the positive coordinate axes at points $$P$$ and $$Q$$. Find the absolute minimum value of $$OP + OQ,$$ as $$L$$ varies, where $$O$$ is the origin.

A straight line $$L$$ through the origin meets the lines $$x + y = 1$$ and $$x + y = 3$$ at $$P $$ and $$Q$$ respectively. Through $$P$$ and $$Q$$ two straight lines $${L_1}$$ and $${L_2}$$ are drawn, parallel to $$2x - y = 5$$ and $$3x + y = 5$$ respectively. Lines $${L_1}$$ and $${L_2}$$ intersect at $$R$$. Show that the locus of $$R$$, as $$L$$ varies is a straight line.
