   i. By distance formula,
   
    
   
    
   
   ∴ d(A, B) = \(\sqrt { 5 }\) …(i)
   
   On adding (i) and (iii),
   
   d(A, B) + d(A, C)= \(\sqrt { 5 }\) + 5\(\sqrt { 5 }\) = 6\(\sqrt { 5 }\)
   
   ∴ d(A, B) + d(A, C) = d(B, C) … [From (ii)]
   
   ∴ Points A, B and C are collinear.
  
   ii. By distance formula,
   
    
   
   On adding (i) and (iii),
   
   d(L, M) + d(L, N) = 3\(\sqrt { 5 }\) + 5\(\sqrt { 2 }\) ≠ \(\sqrt { 65 }\)
   
   ∴ d(L, M) + d(L, N) ≠ d(M, N) … [From (ii)]
   
   ∴ Points L, M and N are not collinear.
  
   iii. By distance formula,
   
    
   
   On adding (i) and (ii),
   
   ∴ d(R, D) + d(D, S) = \(\sqrt { 8 }\) + \(\sqrt { 5 }\) ≠ 5

   Coordinate Geometry Class 10 Practice Set 5.1 Question 3. Find the point on the X-axis which is equidistant from A (-3,4) and B (1, -4).
   
   Solution:
   
   Let point C be on the X-axis which is equidistant from points A and B.
   
   Point C lies on X-axis.
   
   ∴ its y co-ordinate is 0.
   
   Let C = (x, 0)
   
   C is equidistant from points A and B.
   
   ∴ AC = BC

   ∴ x
   
    2
   
   + 6x + 9 + 16 = x
   
    2
   
   – 2x + 1 + 16
   
   ∴ 8x = – 8
   
   ∴ x = – \(\frac { 8 }{ 8 } \) = -1
   
   ∴ The point on X-axis which is equidistant from points A and B is (-1,0).

   = 15
   
   By distance formula,
   
    
   
   ∴ 1 – x = ± 6
   
   ∴ 1 – x = 6 or l – x = -6
   
   ∴ x = – 5 or x = 7
   
   ∴ The value of x is – 5 or 7.
