Detailed Solution
Given points are A(4,-2),B(2,-4) Let P(a,b) be appoint on 2x-y+5=0|PA-PB| will be maximum if P,A and B will be collinear. the determinant ab14-212-41=0⇒a(−2+4)−b(4−2)+1(−16+4)=0⇒a−b−6=0........(1) Since P(a,b) be on the 2x-y+5=0 Hence 2a-b+5=0……(2)Solving (1) & (2), we getP(a,b)=(−11,−17)
