Options:

A) $ 2x+y-5=0 $

B) $ 2x+y+10=0 $

C) $ 2x-y-10=0 $

D) $ 2x-y+10=0 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • [a] Let $ A,(-1,2) $ and $ B,(3,4) $ and $ p,(x-y) $ be such that $ PA^{2}=PB^{2} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ {{(x+1)}^{2}}+{{(y-2)}^{2}}={{(x-3)}^{2}}+{{(y-4)}^{2}} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x^{2}+1+2x+y^{2}+4-4y=x^{2}+9-6x $ $ +,y^{2}+16-8y $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 2x+5-4y=-,6x-8y+25 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 8x+4y-20=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 2x+y-5=0 $
