Answer:
answer is (0,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A(2,3) and B(1,4)
If the point is on y axis it's co-ordinates would be (0,y)
apply the distance formula:
√(0-2)²+(y-3)² = √(0-1)²+ (y-4)²
√(-2)²+(y-3)² = √(-1)²+ (y-4)²
√4 + (y-3)² = √1+ (y-4)²
Squaring both sides:
4 + (y-3)² = 1+ (y-4)²
4 + y² +9 -6y = 1 + y² +16 -8y
y² +9 -6y - y² -16 +8y = 1 - 4
-7 + 2y = -3
2y = -3+7 = 4
y = 4/2 = 2
Hence, the answer is (0,2).
