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.
