Question

find the equation of locus of the points which is at a distance 5 units from the y axis​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Going in the reverse order, the equation y = 5

is the equation of the locus / curve, every point

on which has the y-coordinate as 5, or every

point being at a distance of 5 units from the X axis.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, P(x,y) be the moving point which moves the distance of 5 units in A(0,y):

so, P(x,y) = x₁y₁

     A(o,y) = x₂y₂

By using distance formula,

PA = √(x2-y2)²+(y2-y1)²

5 = √(0-x)²+(y-y)²

5 = √(-x)²+(0)²

5 = √x²

5 = x

x±5 = 0
