Question

What makes the poet agree with those who say the world will end in fire?

Answer 1

Answer❣

Given

We have given two points M( -5,-2) and N( 3,2)

To find

we have to find the point on x - axis which is equidistant from the points M and N

Solution,

since ,we don't know the points let us assume the point on x axis be ( x,0)

Note : On x-axis the y will be zero and on Y-axis x will be zero.

let x be 'a'

so , our new point be P (a,0)

According to the questio:

If the point P is equidistant from M and N

then their distance between the points PM and PN must be equal.

Now, by using distance formula we will find distance between the two points.

Distance Between P and M

Distance formula

D=√(x₂- x₁)²+(y₂- y₁)²

M( -5,-2) and P(a,0)

x₁= -5 ;x₂ = a ; y₁= -2 & y₂ = 0

PM= √ (a+5)²+(0+2)²

identity :(a+b)²= a²+b²+2ab

PM= √ a²+5²+2(a)(5)+2²

PM= √a²+25+10a+4=√ a²+10a+29

Distance between P and N

P(a,0) N ( 3,2)

PN=√ (3-a)²+(2-0)²

PN= √ 9+a²-6a+4= √ a²-6a+13

Now , comparing both PM and PN

√ a²+10a+29=√a²-6a+13

Squaring both sides

PM²= PN²

(√a²+10a+29)²= (√a²-6a+13)²

a²+10a+29=a²-6a+13

a² gets cancelled as base same

=> 10a +29= -6a+13

=> 10a+6a=13-29

=> 16a = -16

=>a = -1

Thus,the point is (a,0) = (-1,0)

Therefore, (-1,0) is the point on the x-axis which is equidistant from the points M

Answer 2

Answer:

The poet takes side with those who believe that the world will be destroyed by fire. Frost connects fire with desire. ... The poet favours fire because he doesn't want hatred towards any other human being and desire is much better than hatred, that's why poet favours fire rather than ice.
