Heya !!!




Let A(8,P ) and B(2,-7)




Here,



X1 = 8 , Y1 = P and X2 = 2 , Y2 = -7




Using distance formula,





Distance between point A to point B is 10 units.



AB = 10



AB² = (10)² = 100





(X2-X1)² + (Y2-Y1)² = 100







( 2 - 8 )² + ( -7 - P)² = 10






(-6)² + (-7)² + (P)² - 2 × -7 × P = 100




36 + 49 + P² + 14P = 100



P² + 14P = 100- 85




P² + 14P - 15 = 0




P²+ 15P - P - 15 = 0




P ( P + 15) - 1 ( P + 15) = 0



(P + 15) ( P -1) = 0





P = -15 OR P = 1
