A line segment (bar)AB is of length 10 units and A = (2, 3). If the abscissa of B is 10, then there will be two values for the coordinate of B whose sum is equal to (A) 3 (B) –3(C) 6(D) –6 |

Answer» Correct option (d) -6 Explanation : Suppose B = (10, y). Then AB = 10 ⇒ (10 – 2)2 + (y + 3)2 102 ⇒ (y + 3)2 + 36 ⇒ y = 3 = ±6 ⇒ y = 3 or -9 Therefore, the sum of the values of y = 3 - 9 = -6. |
