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 = (x2x1)2+(y2y1)2\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}​​
Solution:
Distance from (x, y) to (6, 2) = (x6)2+(y2)2 \sqrt{(x - 6)^2 + (y - 2)^2} \\
Distance from (x, y) to (4, 6) =(x4)2+(y6)2= \sqrt{(x - 4)^2 + (y - 6)^2} \\
As distance are equal from both points:
(x6)2+(y2)2=(x4)2+(y6)2x212x+36+y24y+4=x28x+16+y212y+3612x4y+40=8x12y+524x+8y12=0x+2y3=0=>x2y=3(x - 6)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = (x - 4)^2 + (y - 6)^2 \\x^2 - 12x + 36 + y^2 - 4y + 4 = x^2 - 8x + 16 + y^2 - 12y + 36 \\-12x - 4y + 40 = -8x - 12y + 52 \\-4x + 8y - 12 = 0 \\-x + 2y - 3 = 0 \\\Rightarrow x - 2y = 3​​
