उत्तर
The distance d between two points `(x_1,y_1)` ``nd `(x_2,y_2)` is given by the formula
`d = sqrt((x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2)`
The three given points are P(x, y), A(5,1) and B(1,5).
Now let us find the distance between ‘P’ and ‘A’.
`PA = sqrt((x - 5)^2 + (y - 1)^2)`
Now, let us find the distance between ‘P’ and ‘B’.
`PB = sqrt((x - 1)^2 + (y - 5)^2)`
It is given that both these distances are equal. So, let us equate both the above equations,
PA = PB
`sqrt((x - 5)^2 + (y -1)^2) = sqrt((x - 1)^2 + (y - 5)^2)`
Squaring on both sides of the equation we get,
`(x - 5)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = (x - 1)^2 + (y - 5)^2`
`=> x^2 + 25 - 10x + y^2 + 1 - 2y = x^2 + 1 - 2x + y^2 + 25 - 10y`
`=> 26 - 10x - 2y = 26 - 10y - 2x`
`=> 10y - 2y = 10x - 2x`
`=> 8y = 8x`
=> y = x
Hence we have proved that x = y.

Find distance between point A(–1, 1) and point B(5, –7):
Solution: Suppose A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2)
x1 = –1, y1 = 1 and x2 = 5, y2 = – 7
Using distance formula,
d(A, B) = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt(square +[(-7) + square]^2`
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt(square)`
∴ d(A, B) = `square`
Show that A(1, 2), (1, 6), C(1 + 2 `sqrt(3)`, 4) are vertices of a equilateral triangle
