Question Number 47438 by rahul 19 last updated on 10/Nov/18

Find locus of a point P which moves  such that its distance from the line  y=(√3)x−7 is same as its distance from  (2(√3),−1) ?

(((y−x(√3)+7)^2 )/4)=(x−2(√3))^2 +(y+1)^2   y^2 +3x^2 +49−2(√3)xy−14(√3)x   +14y = 4x^2 +4y^2 −16(√3)x+8y+52  ⇒  x^2 +3y^2 +2(√3)xy−2(√3)x−6y+3 =0   ⇒ (x+(√3)y)^2 −2(√3)(x+(√3)y)+3=0  ⇒  (x+(√3)y−(√3))^2 =0  ⇒  (√3)y = (√3)−x .

$$\frac{\left({y}−{x}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}+\mathrm{7}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{4}}=\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({y}+\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{3}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{49}−\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{xy}−\mathrm{14}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{x} \\ $$$$\:+\mathrm{14}{y}\:=\:\mathrm{4}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}{y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{16}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{x}+\mathrm{8}{y}+\mathrm{52} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{3}{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{xy}−\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{x}−\mathrm{6}{y}+\mathrm{3}\:=\mathrm{0}\: \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\left({x}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{y}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\left({x}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{y}\right)+\mathrm{3}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\left({x}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{y}−\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{y}\:=\:\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}−{x}\:. \\ $$

since the point satisifes the line.  locus is st. line perpendicular to given  line passing through given point.  ⇒ locus = (y+1)= −(1/(√3))(x−2(√3)).

$${since}\:{the}\:{point}\:{satisifes}\:{the}\:{line}. \\ $$$${locus}\:{is}\:{st}.\:{line}\:{perpendicular}\:{to}\:{given} \\ $$$${line}\:{passing}\:{through}\:{given}\:{point}. \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{locus}\:=\:\left({y}+\mathrm{1}\right)=\:−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\right).\: \\ $$
