find the co-ordinates of the points on y axis which are at the distance of 10 units from the point (6,6)
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
The point (6,6)
To find :-
Find the co-ordinates of the points on y axis which are at the distance of 10 units from the point (6,6) ?
Solution :-
Given point = (6,6)
We know that
The equation of y-axis is x = 0
So , the required point be P (0,y)
Let (x1, y1) = A(6,6) => x1 = 6 and y1 = 6
Let (x2, y2) = P(0,y) => x2 = 0 and y2 = y
We know that
The distance between two points (x1, y1) and
(x2, y2) is √[(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²] units
The distance between two points A and P
=> AP = √[(0-6)²+(y-6)²]
=> AP = √[(-6)²+(y-6)²]
=> AP = √(36+y²-12y+36)
=> AP = √(y²-12y+72) units
According to the given problem
The distance between the two points = 10 units
=> √(y²-12y+72) = 10
On squaring both sides then
=> [√(y²-12y+72)]² = 10²
=> y²-12y+72 = 100
=> y²-12y+72-100 = 0
=> y²-12y-28 = 0
=> y²+2y-14y-28 = 0
=> y(y+2)-14(y+2) = 0
=> (y+2)(y-14) = 0
=> y+2 = 0 or y-14 = 0
=> y = -2 or y = 14
Therefore y = -2 or 14
The point = (0,-2) or (0,14)
Answer :-
The required point for the given problem is (0,-2) or (0,14)
Used formulae:-
→ The equation of y-axis is x = 0
→The distance between two points (x1, y1) and
(x2, y2) is √[(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²] units
Answer :—
• The required point will be (0,-2 ) or (0,14)
Solution :—
The required point will be (0,-2 ) or (0,14) .
