Step-by-step explanation:
Let the point in X-axis be (x, 0)
then by distance formula we get,
√(x+3)^2+(4-0)^2=√(x-1)^2+(0+4)^2
On squaring both sides we get,
(x+3)^2+(4-0)^2=(x-1)^2+(0+4)^2
=x^2+9+6x+16=x^2+1-2x+16
=9+6x=1-2x
=8x=-8
=x=-1
Hence, the point on the X-axis which is equidistant from A(-3,4) and B(1,-4) is (-1, 0)
