If the distances of `P(x, y)` from `A(5,1) and B(-1, 5)` are equal, then prove that `3x=2y. |

Answer» Since, `P(x,y)` is equidistant from `A(5,1) and B( -1, 5)`. therefore`" "PA=PB` `rArr" "sqrt ((x- 5)^(2)+(y-1)^(2))=sqrt((x+1)^(2)+(y-5)^(2))" "` (by using distance formula) Squaring both sides, we get ` " "(x-5)^(2)+(y -1)^(2)=(x+1)^(2)+(y-5)^(2)` `rArr " "x^(2)-10x+25+y^(2)-2y+1=x+2x+1+y^(2)-10y+25` `" "-1 0x-2x=-10y+2y rArr" "12x=8y` `rArr" "3x=2y` |
