If P(x, y) is equidistant from the points A(7, 1) and B(3, 5), find the relation between x and y.

Answer» Correct Answer - x-y = 2
`(7-x)^(2) + (1-y)^(2) = (3-x)^(2) + (5-y)^(2)`
`rArr (49 + x^(2) -14x) + (1+y^(2)-2y) = (9+x^(2) -6x) +(25 + y^(2) - 10y)`
`rArr x^(2) + y^(2) -14x -2y + 50 =x^(2) + y^(2) -6x -10y + 34`
`rArr 8x-8y = 16 rArr x -y = 2`
