Lora 3/29/2013 3:46:31 AM the minimum distance of the points from (1,y) is the distance from the intersection of their perpendicular bisectors to the line x=1 hence slope of perpendicular bisector=> -4=2y-14 / 2x -7 => 8x + 2y = 42. putting x=1,y=17, hence a+b= 17 +1 =18 (ANS).

=> 8x + 2y = 42.
putting x=1,y=17,
hence a+b= 17 +1 =18 (ANS).
