If the point P(x, y) is equidistant from the points A(a + b, b – a) and B(a – b,a + b). Prove that bx = ay.


Given,

P(x, y) is equidistant from the points A(a + b, b – a) and B(a – b,a + b)
Since P is at equidistant
therefore,
AP=BP
Thus using section formula
square root of left square bracket straight x minus left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis squared right square bracket plus left square bracket straight y minus left parenthesis straight b minus straight a right parenthesis squared right square bracket end root space equals space square root of left square bracket straight x minus left parenthesis straight a minus straight b right parenthesis right square bracket squared plus left square bracket straight y minus left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis right square bracket squared end root
left square bracket straight x minus left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis right square bracket squared plus left square bracket straight y minus left parenthesis straight b minus straight a right parenthesis right square bracket squared space equals left square bracket straight x minus left parenthesis straight a minus straight b right parenthesis right square bracket squared plus left square bracket straight y minus left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis right square bracket squared
straight x squared minus 2 straight x left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis plus left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis squared plus straight y squared minus 2 straight y left parenthesis straight b minus straight a right parenthesis plus left parenthesis straight b minus straight a right parenthesis squared
equals straight x squared minus 2 straight x left parenthesis straight a minus straight b right parenthesis plus left parenthesis straight a minus straight b right parenthesis squared plus straight y squared minus 2 straight y left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis plus left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis squared
minus 2 straight x space left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis minus 2 straight y space left parenthesis straight b minus straight a right parenthesis space equals negative 2 straight x space left parenthesis straight a minus straight b right parenthesis minus 2 straight y left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis
ax plus bx plus by minus ay equals ax minus bx plus ay plus by
2 bx equals 2 ay
bx equals ay

Hence proved.
