The correct Answer is:
To find a point that is equidistant from the lines \(4x + 3y + 10 = 0\), \(5x - 12y + 26 = 0\), and \(7x + 24y - 50 = 0\), we can use the formula for the distance from a point \((h, k)\) to a line given by \(Ax + By + C = 0\): \[ d = \frac{|Ah + Bk + C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}} \] ### Step 1: Define the lines Let: - Line 1: \(l_1: 4x + 3y + 10 = 0\) (Here, \(A_1 = 4\), \(B_1 = 3\), \(C_1 = 10\)) - Line 2: \(l_2: 5x - 12y + 26 = 0\) (Here, \(A_2 = 5\), \(B_2 = -12\), \(C_2 = 26\)) - Line 3: \(l_3: 7x + 24y - 50 = 0\) (Here, \(A_3 = 7\), \(B_3 = 24\), \(C_3 = -50\)) ### Step 2: Set up the distance equations Let the point be \((h, k)\). The distances from this point to each line must be equal. 1. Distance to line \(l_1\): \[ d_1 = \frac{|4h + 3k + 10|}{\sqrt{4^2 + 3^2}} = \frac{|4h + 3k + 10|}{5} \] 2. Distance to line \(l_2\): \[ d_2 = \frac{|5h - 12k + 26|}{\sqrt{5^2 + (-12)^2}} = \frac{|5h - 12k + 26|}{13} \] 3. Distance to line \(l_3\): \[ d_3 = \frac{|7h + 24k - 50|}{\sqrt{7^2 + 24^2}} = \frac{|7h + 24k - 50|}{25} \] ### Step 3: Set the distances equal Since the point is equidistant from all three lines, we set the distances equal to each other: 1. Set \(d_1 = d_2\): \[ \frac{|4h + 3k + 10|}{5} = \frac{|5h - 12k + 26|}{13} \] 2. Set \(d_1 = d_3\): \[ \frac{|4h + 3k + 10|}{5} = \frac{|7h + 24k - 50|}{25} \] 3. Set \(d_2 = d_3\): \[ \frac{|5h - 12k + 26|}{13} = \frac{|7h + 24k - 50|}{25} \] ### Step 4: Solve the equations We can solve these equations to find the values of \(h\) and \(k\). For simplicity, we can test specific values. Let's try \(h = 0\) and \(k = 0\): 1. For \(h = 0\) and \(k = 0\): \[ d_1 = \frac{|4(0) + 3(0) + 10|}{5} = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \] \[ d_2 = \frac{|5(0) - 12(0) + 26|}{13} = \frac{26}{13} = 2 \] \[ d_3 = \frac{|7(0) + 24(0) - 50|}{25} = \frac{50}{25} = 2 \] Since \(d_1 = d_2 = d_3 = 2\), the point \((0, 0)\) is equidistant from all three lines. ### Conclusion The point that is equidistant from the given lines is \((0, 0)\).

To find a point that is equidistant from the lines \(4x + 3y + 10 = 0\), \(5x - 12y + 26 = 0\), and \(7x + 24y - 50 = 0\), we can use the formula for the distance from a point \((h, k)\) to a line given by \(Ax + By + C = 0\): \[ d = \frac{|Ah + Bk + C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}} \] ### Step 1: Define the lines Let: ...
