Find the locus of a point which moves in...

Find the locus of a point which moves in such away that the square of its distance from the point `(3,-2)` is numerically equal to its distance from the line `5x-12 y=13.`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let P(h, k) be the moving point and given point be A(3, -2).
`AP = sqrt((h – 3)^2 + (k + 2)^2`
`(AP)^2 = (h – 3)^2 + (k + 2)^2`
Distance of the point (h, k) from the line `5x – 12y = 13` is
