Problem
A rectangle, with sides parallel to the -axis and
-axis, has opposite vertices located at
and
. A line drawn through points
and
. Another line is drawn through points
and
. How many points on the rectangle lie on at least one of the two lines?
Solution 1
If we extend the lines, we have the following diagram:
Hence, we see that the answer is
~MrThinker
Solution 2
Note that the -intercepts of line
and line
are
and
. If the analytic expression for line
is
, and the analytic expression for line
is
, we have equations:
and
. Solving these equations, we can find out that
and
. Therefore, we can determine that the expression for line
is
and the expression for line
is
. When
, the coordinates that line
and line
pass through are
and
, and
lies perfectly on one vertex of the rectangle while the
coordinate of
is out of the range
(lower than the bottom left corner of the rectangle
). Considering that the
value of the line
will only decrease, and the
value of the line
will only increase, there will not be another point on the rectangle that lies on either of the two lines. Thus, we can conclude that the answer is
