Question
Find the coordinates of the points on the y-axis, which are at a distance of 10 units from the point (-8, 4).
Solution
Let the coordinates of the point on y-axis be (0, y).
From the given information, we have:
`sqrt((0 + 8)^2 + (y - 4)^2)` = 10
(0 + 8)2 + (y - 4)2 = 100
64 + y2 + 16 - 8y = 100
y2 - 8y - 20 = 0
y2 - 10y + 2y - 20 = 0
y(y - 10) + 2(y - 10) = 0
(y - 10)(y + 2) = 0
y = 10, - 2
Thus, the required co-ordinates of the points on y-axis are (0, 10) and (0, -2).

Find distance between point A(–1, 1) and point B(5, –7):
Solution: Suppose A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2)
x1 = –1, y1 = 1 and x2 = 5, y2 = – 7
Using distance formula,
d(A, B) = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt(square +[(-7) + square]^2`
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt(square)`
∴ d(A, B) = `square`
