Question

The x-coordinate of a point P is twice its y-coordinate. If P is equidistant from Q(2,-5) and R(-3, 6), the coordinates of P is (a) (16,8) (b) (-16,-8) (c) (8,16) (d) (-8,-16)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Then, its x-coordinate will be 2a. Thus, the coordinates of the point P are (2a, a). t is given that the point P (2a, a) is equidistant from Q (2, −5) and R (−3, 6). Thus, the coordinates of the point P are (16, 8), i.e. (2 × 8, 8).

Answer 2

Answer:

Then, its x-coordinate will be 2a. Thus, the coordinates of the point P are (2a, a). t is given that the point P (2a, a) is equidistant from Q (2, −5) and R (−3, 6). Thus, the coordinates of the point P are (16, 8), i.e. (2 × 8, 8).
