The correct answer is: 40x2-81y2-40x-800=0

Given,

The perimeter of a triangle is 20 and two of its vertices are -5,0 and 6,0,

Now let the third vertex be x,y,

Now by formula of perimeter of triangle we get,

20=x+52+y2+6+52+x-62+y2

20=x+52+y2+11+x-62+y2

9-x-62+y2=x+52+y2

Now squaring both side we get,

92+x-62+y2-18x-62+y2=x+52+y2

92+x-62-x+52=18x-62+y2

92-22x=18x-62+y2

46-11x2=92x-62+y2

40x2-81y2-40x-800=0
