Rotating a Segment About a Point on a Line
Problem
As shown in Figure 1, the line intersects the -axis at a point and intersects the positive -axis at a point , and the area of is , where is the origin.
1. Find the equation of line . 2. As shown in Figure 2, is a point on segment . Rotating segment about clockwise by produces segment ; segment is then drawn. Let be the -coordinate of , and let be the area of quadrilateral . Express as a function of . 3. Under the conditions of part 2, as shown in Figure 3, the extension of meets the -axis at a point , and is a point on the extension of beyond such that . If , find the coordinates of .
