`A(5,3), B(3,-2)`are two fixed points; find the equation to the locus of a point `P`which moves so that the area of the triangle `P A B`is 9 units. |
|
Answer» area of triangle`=1/2|[x_!,y_1,1],[x_2,y_2,1],[x_3,y_3,1]|` `/_=1/2|[h,k,1],[5,3,1],[3,-2,1]|=9` `/_=h(3+2)-k(5-3)+1(-10-9)=18` `5h-2k-19=18` `5h-2k=37` putting h=x,k=y `5x-2y=37`. |
