The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the locus of the point \( P \) such that the area of triangle \( POA \) is twice the area of triangle \( POB \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points**: - Let \( O = (0, 0) \) - Let \( A = (0, 4) \) - Let \( B = (6, 0) \) - Let \( P = (x, y) \) be the moving point. 2. **Calculate the Area of Triangle \( POA \)**: - The area of triangle \( POA \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area}_{POA} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \] - Here, the base \( OA \) is the vertical distance from \( O \) to \( A \), which is \( 4 \). The height is the x-coordinate of point \( P \), which is \( x \). - Therefore, the area of triangle \( POA \) is: \[ \text{Area}_{POA} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times x = 2x \] 3. **Calculate the Area of Triangle \( POB \)**: - Similarly, the area of triangle \( POB \) is: \[ \text{Area}_{POB} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \] - Here, the base \( OB \) is the horizontal distance from \( O \) to \( B \), which is \( 6 \). The height is the y-coordinate of point \( P \), which is \( y \). - Therefore, the area of triangle \( POB \) is: \[ \text{Area}_{POB} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times y = 3y \] 4. **Set up the Equation**: - According to the problem, the area of triangle \( POA \) is twice the area of triangle \( POB \): \[ \text{Area}_{POA} = 2 \times \text{Area}_{POB} \] - Substituting the areas we calculated: \[ 2x = 2 \times 3y \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ 2x = 6y \] - Dividing both sides by 2: \[ x = 3y \] 5. **Rearranging the Equation**: - Rearranging the equation \( x - 3y = 0 \) gives us the locus of point \( P \). ### Conclusion: The locus of point \( P \) is given by the equation: \[ x - 3y = 0 \] Thus, the correct option is (d) \( 3y - x = 0 \).

To solve the problem, we need to find the locus of the point \( P \) such that the area of triangle \( POA \) is twice the area of triangle \( POB \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points**: - Let \( O = (0, 0) \) - Let \( A = (0, 4) \) - Let \( B = (6, 0) \) ...
