प्रश्न
Find the distance between the points (a, b) and (−a, −b).
उत्तर
Using distance formula:
`d = sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)`
Here, x1 = a, y1 = b, x2 = -a and y2 = -b
On substituting the values in the formula we get
`sqrt((-a - a)^2 + (-b-b)^2)`
= `sqrt((-2a)^2 + (-2b)^2)`
=`sqrt(4a^2 + 4b^2)`
= `2sqrt(a^2 + b^2)`
Therefore, the distance between (a,b) and (-a,-b) is `2sqrt((a^2) + (b^2))`
