A points `P` moves such that its distances from `(1,2)` and `(-2,3)` are equal. Then, the locus of `P` isA. straight lineB. ParabolaC. ellipseD. hyperbola

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Let moving point be `P(x, y)`
`sqrt((y-2)^(2)+(x-1)^(2))=sqrt((y-3)^(2)+(x+2)^(2))`
`implies (y+2)^(2)+(x-1)^(2)=(y-3)^(2)+(x+2)^(2)`
`implies y^(2)+4+4y+x^(2)+1-2x=y^(2)+9-6y+x^(2)+4x+4`
`implies 10y-6x-8=0`
`:.` Locus of P is a straight line.
