Find a relation between x and y such that the point (x,y) is equidistant from the points (-2,6) and (3,5). |

Answer»
∴PA=PB By using the distance formula = (x
−x
) 2 +(y 2
−y 1
) 2
we have ⇒ (x−3) 2 +(y−6) 2
= (x+3) 2 +(y−4) 2
⇒(x−3) 2 +(y−6) 2 =(x+3) 2 +(y−4) 2
⇒x 2 −6x+9+y 2 −12y+36=x 2 +6x+9+y 2 −8y+16 ⇒−6x−6x−12y+8y+36−16=0 ⇒−12x−4y+20=0 ⇒3x+y−5=0 Hence this is a RELATION between x and y.
