Answer:
(-2,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P be the point on the x-axis
and AP= BP(given)
√(x2-x1)²+ (y2-y1)²= √(x2-x1)²+ (y2-y1)² (Distance formula)
√(2-x)²+ (5-0)²= √(3-x)²+ (4-0)² (y=0)
4- 4x+ x²+ 25= 9- 6x+ x²+ 16 (sqrt get cancels)
- 4x+ 29= -6x+ 25 (x² gets cancelled)
-4x+ 6x= 25- 29
2x= -4
x= -2
∴The point is (-2, 0)
