If \(A(5,-4)\) and \(B(7,6)\) are points in a plane, then the set of all points \(P(x, y)\) in the plane such that \(A P: P B=2: 3\) is

  1. A a circle
  2. B a hyperbola
  3. C an ellipse
  4. D a parabola
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) a circle

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(A(5,-4)\) and \(B(7,6)\) are the points in a plane. Now, and \[ \begin{aligned} & A P=\sqrt{(x-5)^2+\left[\left(y-(-4)^2\right]\right.} \\ & P B=\sqrt{(x-7)^2+(y-6)^2} \end{aligned} \] According to the question, \[ A P: P B=2: 3 \]…
