be two points. If the point P (O, K) on y - axis, such that is greatest, then is equal to
A and B are on opposite sides of y - axis. Reflection of A (-3, 2) is y - axis is so that will be on the same side of P
Equation of is
This meets y - axis at Q (0, 11)
Q is requried position of P so that k = 11
(Since difference of two sides of a triangle is smaller than the thrid side)
Note: We know that will be greatest is P lies on the line containing A and B, rather A and B must lie on the same side of P.
