P-A684 Prob 12

Let the coordinates of the point be (a, b).

According to the question,

(a – 5)2 + (b – 4)2 = 22
 a2 –10a + 25 + b2 – 8b + 16 = 4
 a2 + b2 = 4 +10a – 25 + 8b – 16
 a2 + b2 = 10a + 8b – 37………………………. (1)

(a – 11)2 + (b + 2)2 = 102

 a2 – 22a + 121 + b2 + 4b + 4 = 100
 a2 + b2 = 100 + 22a – 121 – 4b – 4
 a2 + b2 = 22a – 4b – 25………………………. (2)

Equating (1) and (2),

10a + 8b – 37 = 22a – 4b – 25
 22a – 10a – 4b – 8b = 25 – 37
 12a – 12b = – 12
 a–b=–1

Now, put a = b – 1 in (1) and the values of a.

Similarly, find the value of b.
