Q43 of 149 Page 14

Find a relation between x and y such that the point (x, y) is equidistant from the points (3, 6) and (-3, 4).

Coordinates of the points are A(3, 6) and B(-3, 4)


Let the point P(x, y) is equidistant from A and B


Using distance formula =


⇒ PA = PB



On squaring both sides, we get


=
