Question

The coordinates of the points O, A and B of the plane are (0, 0), (0, 12) and (108, 0), respectively. A point P=(x,y) is such that the area of triangle ΔPOA is twice the area of triangle ΔPOB. We can then say that the coordinates of P satisfy the relationship:

Choose an option:

a. x^(2)−81/4y^(2)=0
b. x^(2)−324y^(2)=0
c. x^(2)−81y^(2)=0
d. x^(2)−18y^(2)=0
e.x^(2)−54y^(2)=0
