Find the relation between x and y such that the point (x, y) is equidistant from (6, 2) and (4, 6).
Question
Find the relation between x and y such that the point (x, y) is equidistant from (6, 2) and (4, 6).
A.
x + 2y = 3
B.
2x – y = 3
C.
2x + y = -3
D.
x - 2y = -3
Correct option is D
Given: Point A = (6, 2) Point B = (4, 6) Point (x, y) is equidistant from both A and B Concept Used: A point is equidistant from two given points if its distance from each of those two points is the same. Formula Used: Distance between two point = (x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2 Solution: Distance from (x, y) to (6, 2) = (x−6)2+(y−2)2 Distance from (x, y) to (4, 6) =(x−4)2+(y−6)2 As distance are equal from both points: (x−6)2+(y−2)2=(x−4)2+(y−6)2x2−12x+36+y2−4y+4=x2−8x+16+y2−12y+36−12x−4y+40=−8x−12y+52−4x+8y−12=0−x+2y−3=0=>x−2y=3
