Question
The distances of point P (x, y) from the points A (1, - 3) and B (- 2, 2) are in the ratio 2: 3.
Show that: 5x2 + 5y2 - 34x + 70y + 58 = 0.

Solution
It is given that PA: PB = 2: 3
`"PA"/"PB" = (2)/(3)`
`"PA"^2/"PB"^2 = (4)/(9)`
`((x - 1)^2 + (y + 3)^2)/((x + 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2) = (4)/(9)`
`(x^2 + 1 -2x + y^2 + 9 + 6y)/(x^2 + 4 + 4x + y^2 + 4 - 4y) = (4)/(9)`
9(x2 - 2x + y2 + 10 + 6y) = 4(x2 + 4x + y2 + 8 - 4y)
9x2 - 18x + 9y2 + 90 + 54y = 4x2 + 16x + 4y2 + 32 - 16y
5x2 + 5y2 - 34x + 70y + 58 = 0
Hence, proved.

In a GPS, The lines that run east-west are known as lines of latitude, and the lines running north-south are known as lines of longitude. The latitude and the longitude of a place are its coordinates and the distance formula is used to find the distance between two places. The distance between two parallel lines is approximately 150 km.
