Q66.Let A be a fixed point (0, 6) and B be a moving point (2t, 0). Let M be the mid-point of AB and the perpendicular bisector of AB meets the y−axis at C. The locus of the mid-point P of MC is (1) 3x2 + 2y −6 = 0 (2) 2x2 −3y + 9 = 0 (3) 3x2 −2y −6 = 0 (4) 2x2 + 3y −9 = 0

What This Question Tests

This question tests the ability to find the locus of a point by combining coordinate geometry concepts like midpoint, slope, perpendicular lines, and eliminating a parameter.

Concepts Tested

Midpoint formulaSlope of a linePerpendicular bisectorEquation of a lineLocus of a point

Formulas Used

M = ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)

Slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Perpendicular slope m' = -1/m

Equation of line: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
