The correct Answer is:
To find a point that is equidistant from the lines given by the equations \(4x + 3y + 10 = 0\), \(5x - 12y + 26 = 0\), and \(7x + 24y - 50 = 0\), we will use the formula for the distance from a point to a line. ### Step 1: Identify the equations of the lines We have three lines: 1. \(L_1: 4x + 3y + 10 = 0\) 2. \(L_2: 5x - 12y + 26 = 0\) 3. \(L_3: 7x + 24y - 50 = 0\) ### Step 2: Write the distance formula The distance \(D\) from a point \((p, q)\) to a line given by the equation \(Ax + By + C = 0\) is given by: \[ D = \frac{|Ax + By + C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the distance from point \((p, q)\) to each line 1. **Distance to \(L_1\)**: \[ D_1 = \frac{|4p + 3q + 10|}{\sqrt{4^2 + 3^2}} = \frac{|4p + 3q + 10|}{5} \] 2. **Distance to \(L_2\)**: \[ D_2 = \frac{|5p - 12q + 26|}{\sqrt{5^2 + (-12)^2}} = \frac{|5p - 12q + 26|}{13} \] 3. **Distance to \(L_3\)**: \[ D_3 = \frac{|7p + 24q - 50|}{\sqrt{7^2 + 24^2}} = \frac{|7p + 24q - 50|}{25} \] ### Step 4: Set the distances equal Since the point \((p, q)\) is equidistant from all three lines, we can set the distances equal to each other: \[ \frac{|4p + 3q + 10|}{5} = \frac{|5p - 12q + 26|}{13} = \frac{|7p + 24q - 50|}{25} \] ### Step 5: Substitute \(p = 0\) and \(q = 0\) to check if it satisfies the equations Let's check the point \((0, 0)\): 1. For \(L_1\): \[ D_1 = \frac{|4(0) + 3(0) + 10|}{5} = \frac{|10|}{5} = 2 \] 2. For \(L_2\): \[ D_2 = \frac{|5(0) - 12(0) + 26|}{13} = \frac{|26|}{13} = 2 \] 3. For \(L_3\): \[ D_3 = \frac{|7(0) + 24(0) - 50|}{25} = \frac{|-50|}{25} = 2 \] ### Conclusion Since all distances \(D_1\), \(D_2\), and \(D_3\) are equal to 2, the point \((0, 0)\) is indeed equidistant from all three lines. ### Final Answer The point equidistant from the given lines is \((0, 0)\). ---
