Let $A(2, 3)$ and $B(-4, 5)$ be two fixed points. If a point $P(x, y)$ moves such that the area of $\Delta PAB = 12$ square units,find the locus of $P$.

  • A
    $x + 3y + 1 = 0$ or $x + 3y - 23 = 0$
  • B
    $x + 3y + 1 = 0$ or $x + 3y + 23 = 0$
  • C
    $x - 3y + 1 = 0$ or $x - 3y - 23 = 0$
  • D
    None of these
