Question
If the points p (x , y) is point equidistant from the points A (5,1)and B ( -1,5) , Prove that 3x=2y
Advertisements
Solution
As per the question, we have
AP = BP
`⇒ sqrt((x -5)^2 +(y-1)^2) = sqrt((x+1)^2 +(y-5)^2)`
`⇒(x-5)^2 +(y-1)^2 = (x+1)^2 +(y-5)^2` (Squaring both sides)
`⇒x^2 - 10x +25 + y^2 -2y +1 = x^2 +2x +1+y^2 -10y+25`
⇒ - 10x -2y =2x-10y
⇒ 8y = 12x
⇒3x=2y
Hence, 3x=2y.
