Question

    Find the equation if a point P(x, y) is equidistant from

    A(7, 3) and B(-3, 7).
    A 5x = 2y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B x = y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2x = y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2x = 2y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Using the distance formula, Squaring both sides and simplifying, Cancelling x2and y2

    −14x−6y+58=6x−14y+58 −14x−6y−6x+14y=0 −20x+8y=0 5x−2y=0 Hence, solution is 5x = 2y
