A point P moves in such a way that the area of the triangle formed with A(1, –1) and B(5, 2) is of magnitude 5 units. Then P lies on the line
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(a, b)
= ± 5
⇒ –3x + 4y + 7 = ±10
⇒ –3x + 4y = 3 or –3x + 4y = –17
∴ and are correct.
