Find the equation of the locus of a point which moves such that theratio of its distances from `(2,0)a n d(1,3)`is `5: 4.`

Answer» `(AP)/(BP)=5/4`
`(AP)^2/(BP)^2=(25/16)``d=sqrt((x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2`
`d^2=(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2`
`(AP)^2=(h-2)^2+(k-0)`
`(BP)^2=(h-1)^2+(k-3)^2`
`(AP)^2/(BP)^2=25/16`
`((h-2)^2+k^2)/((h-1)^2+(k-3)^2)=25/16`
`16h^2+64-64h+16k^2=25h^2+25-50h+25k^2+225-150h`
`9h^2+9k^2+14h-150k+186=0`
Putting h=x,k=y
`9x^2+9y^2+14x-150y+186=0`.
