To solve the problem, we need to show that the point \( P(x, y) \) moves along a straight line given that the sum of the perpendicular distances from two lines is always 10. Let's break this down step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the equations of the lines The two lines given are: 1. \( x + y = 5 \) (let's call this Line 1) 2. \( 3x - 2y + 7 = 0 \) (let's call this Line 2) ### Step 2: Write the equations in standard form ...
