Coordinate Geometry

MCQ - 461-9193

Question:

If the distance between the point A(4, p) and B(1, 0) is 5 then

  1. p = 4 only
  2. p = -4 only
  3. p = ± 4
  4. p = -4 only

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The distance between any two points P1(x1, y1) and P2(x2, y2) is given by the following formula:

9 -75936904
⇒ From the question we have,
⇒ A = (4, p)
⇒ B = (1, 0)
⇒ d = 5
10 -11647314

⇒ Squaring both sides
⇒ 25 = (-3)2 + p2
⇒ 25 = 9 + p2
⇒ p2 = 25 – 9
⇒ p2 = 16
⇒ p = ±4
Therefore the value of p is ±4.
