Question

8. Assertion: The possible values of x for which the distance between the points A(x,-
1) and B(5, 3) is 5 units are 2 and 8.
True or false​

Answer 1

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

given points are (x,-1) and (5,3)

distance between them

(x-5)*2 +(-1-3)*2 =25

x*2+25-10x +16 =25

x*2-10x+16=0

x*2-2x-8x +16=0

x(x-2)-8(x-2)=0

(x-8) (x-2) =0

x=8 ,x=2
