Description: Suppose there are three parallel lines and the intercepts made by them on one transversal are equal. Are the intercepts on any other transversal also equal? Let's find out.

Question

Complete the following table by seeing the given figure depicting a football ground.

Player	How many steps did you move to your left/right	How many steps did you move up or down	Position of the Player
$a_{2}$
$a_{6}$
$a_{7}$
$a_{10}$
$b_{6}$
$b_{7}$
$b_{8}$
$b_{9}$
$b_{10}$

Accepted Answer

The horizontal axis is called the $x$ -axis and the vertical axis is called the $y$ -axis. The centre of the coordinate system (where the lines intersect) is called the origin. The axes intersect when both $x$ and $y$ are zero. The coordinates of the origin are $(0, 0)$ .

Player
How many steps did you move to your left/right How many steps did you move up or down Position of the Player

$a_{2}$ Move $55$ steps on left Move to $0$ step up or down $(- 55, 0)$

$a_{6}$ Move $35$ steps on left Move to $20$ steps up $(- 35, 20)$

$a_{7}$ Move $35$ steps on left Move to $0$ step up or down $(- 35, 0)$

$a_{10}$ Move $35$ steps on left Move to $20$ steps down $(- 35, - 20)$

$b_{6}$ Move to $10$ steps on the right Move to $0$ step up or down $(10, 0)$

$b_{7}$ Move to $35$ steps on the right Move to $30$ steps up $(35, 30)$

$b_{8}$ Move to $35$ steps on the right Move to $15$ steps up $(35, 15)$

$b_{9}$ Move to $35$ steps on the right Move to $b_{8}$ steps down $(35, - 15)$

$b_{10}$ Move to $35$ steps on the right Move to $b_{10}$ steps down $(35, - 30)$
