Question

The diagonals of a rhombus ABCD intersect at the point (1,2) and its two sides are parallel to the lines xy+2=0 and 7xy+3=0. if the vertex A be situated on y-axis, find the possible coordinates of A.

Solution

Choose the vertex A to be (0,k) as it is on y-axis
The sides through A being parallel to given lines and pass through (0,k)
AB,xy+k=0
AD,7xy+k=0
The point P which is intersection of diagonals will be on the bisectors of these sides
xy+k2=±7xy+k52
They pass through (1,2)
k=(0,5/2). Hence A is (0,0) or (0,5/2)
