and , find
IfDetails and assumptions:
means the magnitude of point from the origin.
(You really don't need to read everything below, it's simply a clarification of the diagram above).
Note: ignore points C and D on the diagram, they're incorrectly labeled.
Two different parallel lines and are drawn with the same slope such that is a positive integer, line intersects the origin, and line intersects the y-axis above line .
A third line is drawn with slope such that , it intersects line at point with coordinates , and it also intersects the origin.
K, at this point you should probably just look at the diagram, but feel free to keep reading.
A forth line is drawn with slope such that , it intersects line at point with coordinates such that and , it intersects line at point , and it has the same x intercept as line .
A fifth line is drawn parallel to the x-axis such that point lies on this line and line intersects line at point .
