Mathematics Question on Coordinate Geometry

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

Answer

Point (x, y) is equidistant from (3, 6) and (−3, 4).
\therefore (x3)2+(y6)2=(x(3))2+(y4)2\sqrt{(x-3)^2+(y-6)^2}=\sqrt{(x-(-3))^2+(y-4)^2}
(x3)2+(y6)2=(x+3)2+(y4)2\sqrt{(x-3)^2+(y-6)^2}=\sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-4)^2}
(x3)2+(y6)2=(x+3)2+(y4)2{(x-3)^2+(y-6)^2}={(x+3)^2+(y-4)^2}
