Description : Prove that the points (1, –1) ((-1/2),(1/2)) and (1, 2) are the vertices of an isosceles triangle. -Maths 9th
Last Answer : (x, y) is equidistant from the points (2, 1) and (1, –2) ⇒ Distance between (x, y) and (2, 1) = Distance between (x, y) and (1, –2)⇒ \(\sqrt{(x-2)^2+(y-1)^2}\) = \(\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2}\)⇒ x2 – 4x + 4 + y2 – 2y + 1 = x2 – 2x + 1 + y2 + 4y + 4⇒ – 4x + 2x – 2y – 4y = 0 ⇒ –2x – 6y = 0 ⇒ x + 3y = 0
