To find the locus of a point such that the line segment joining the points A(-5, 1) and B(3, 2) subtends a right angle at the moving point P(x, y), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the coordinates of points A and B Let A = (-5, 1) and B = (3, 2). ### Step 2: Use the property of right angles For the point P(x, y) to subtend a right angle at the line segment AB, the following condition must hold: The vectors AP and BP must be perpendicular. This means that the dot product of vectors AP and BP must equal zero. ...
