Solution

Let the coordinates of A are Am,nNow, it is given than ordinate of A is half of its abscissa, thenm = 2nSo, coordinates of A are A2n,nNow, B6, -3 is the given point.Now, AB = 29 units2n-62 + n+32 = 292n-62 + n+32 = 294n2 + 36 - 24n + n2 + 9 + 6n = 295n2 - 18n + 16 = 05n2 - 10n - 8n + 16 = 05nn-2 - 8n-2 = 05n-8n-2 = 05n-8 = 0 or n-2 = 0n = 85 or n = 2When n = 85, then m = 165When n = 2, then m = 4So, coordinates of A are either 4, 2 or 165, 85
