Q65.Let A(−1, 1) and B(2, 3) be two points and P be a variable point above the line AB such that the area of △PAB is 10 . If the locus of P is ax + by = 15, then 5a + 2 b is : (1) 6 (2) −65 (3) 4 (4) −125

What This Question Tests

This problem requires calculating the area of a triangle using the base-height formula, where the height is the perpendicular distance from the variable point P to the line AB, to find the locus of P.

Concepts Tested

Area of a triangle using coordinatesEquation of a lineDistance from a point to a lineLocus of a point

Formulas Used

Area = (1/2) * base * height

Distance from point (x₀, y₀) to Ax+By+C=0 is |Ax₀+By₀+C|/√(A²+B²)
