9.Straight Line
medium
A point moves such that its distance from the point $(4,\,0)$is half that of its distance from the line $x = 16$. The locus of this point is
A
$3{x^2} + 4{y^2} = 192$
B
$4{x^2} + 3{y^2} = 192$
C
${x^2} + {y^2} = 192$
D
None of these
Solution
(a)$\sqrt {{{(h – 4)}^2} + {k^2}} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{{h – 16}}{{\sqrt {{1^2} + 0} }}} \right)$
Replace $(h,k)$ by $(x,\,y)$, we get $3{x^2} + 4{y^2} = 192.$
