Solution

Let B4, 3 be the given point.Let Ax,y be the coordinate of point A.Now, y = 2xSo, coordinates of A are Ax, 2xNow, AB = 10 unitsx-42 + 2x - 32 = 10x-42 + 2x - 32 = 10x2 + 16 - 8x + 4x2 + 9 - 12x = 105x2 - 20x + 15 = 0x2 - 4x + 3 = 0x2 - 3x - x + 3 = 0xx - 3 - 1x - 3 = 0x - 1x - 3 = 0x = 1 or x = 3When x = 1; y = 2When x = 3; y = 6So, coordinates of A are 1, 2 or 3, 6
