The equation to the locus of a point which moves so that its distance from xx-axis is always one half its distance from the origin, is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
x2−3y2=0x^{2}-3 y^{2}=0
Option B (x2−3y2=0x^{2}-3 y^{2}=0) is correct because the distance from the point to the x-axis (∣y∣|y|) is half its distance from the origin (x2+y2\sqrt{{x^2+y^2}}), leading to the equation ∣y∣=12x2+y2|y| = \frac{{1}}{{2}} \sqrt{{x^2+y^2}}, which simplifies to x2−3y2=0x^{2}-3 y^{2}=0.
