Question:medium

If the equation of the line joining the points \(A(x_1,y_1)\) and \(B(x_2,y_2)\) is \[ ax+by=c \] and the distance between \(A\) and \(B\) is \(\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\), then \(c^2=\)

Show Hint

The equation of the line through \[ (x_1,y_1)\ \text{and}\ (x_2,y_2) \] can be written as \[ \boxed{ (y_2-y_1)x-(x_2-x_1)y=x_1y_2-x_2y_1. } \] The constant term directly gives the required value of \(c\).

  • \(\dfrac{x_1^2+y_1^2}{x_2y_2}\)
  • \(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{y_1+y_2}\)
  • \((x_1y_2-x_2y_1)^2\)
  • \((x_1x_2-y_1y_2)^2\)
