P(x, y) moves such that the area of the triangle with vertices at P(x, y), (1, –2), (–1, 3) is equal to the area of the triangle with vertices at P(x, y), (2, –1), (3, 1). The locus of P is the pair of lines-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Locus of P is given by 
= ± 
i.e.,
1 – 5x – 2y = ± (5 – 2x + y) giving the two lines
3x + 3y + 4 = 0 and 7x + y – 6 = 0
