Apply

Question 1: (-3, 6) and (6, -3)

Question 2:  2 points of intersection and they are (-2, -10) and (2, -6)

Question 3:   The distance is √8 (or 2.8284) as the points are (-2, 2) and (0, 4)

Question 4:  (-3, 8) and (9/5, 176/25)

Question 5:  (2, 7) as only one solution, it is tangent

Question 6:  A and B are the points (2.25, -1.5) and (4, 2). Since the gradient of AB is 2 and the gradient of BC is -1/2, the lines are perpendicular. Therefore ABC is a right angled triangle.
