Step-by-step explanation:
Let the point be P(x,y)
Distance between P(x,y) and A(1,3)
=√[ (1−x)² +(3−y)²] = √[1+x² −2x+9+y²-6y]
= √[x²+y² −2x−6y+10]
Distance between (x,y) and (−2,1)
= √[(−2−x)²+(1−y)²]
= √[4+x²+4x+1+y²−2]
= √[x²+y²+4x−2y+5]
As the point (x,y) is equidistant from the two points, both the distances calculated are equal.
⇒ √[x²+y²−2x−6y+10] = √[x²+y²+4x−2y+5]
⇒x²+y²−2x−6y+10=x²+y²+4x−2y+5
⇒6x+4y=5
