Let A(-2,8),B(-3,-5) and P(x,y). If P is equidistant from A,B and then PA =PB
Distance formula=√((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2)
PA=√((+2)2 + (-8)2)
=√(x2 + 4x + + y2 - 16y + )
=√(x2 + y2 + 4x - 16y + )
PB=√((+3)2 + (+5)2)
=√(x2 + 6x + + y2 + 10y + )
=√(x2 + y2 + 6x + 10y + )
Now PA=PB
=√(x2 + y2 + 4x - 16y + ) = √(x2 + y2 + 6x + 10y + )
Squaring on both sides we get
=x2+y2+4x-16y+=x2+y2+6x+10y+
=4x-16y-6x-10y=-
-2x-26y=-
x+13y= is required condition.
