Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find a point on x-axis. Its y-coordinate will be 0.
Let the point be (x,0).
Given points are (3,-4) and (-3,7).
(i)
Distance between (x,0) and (3,-4)
= √(x - 3)² + (0 - (-4))²
= √(x - 3)² + (4)²
(ii)
Distance between (x,0) and (-3,7):
= √(x + 3)² + (0 - 7)²
= √(x + 3)² + (-7)²
Now,
Their distance will be equal in measure.
⇒ √(x - 3)² + 4² = √(x + 3)² + 7²
⇒ (x - 3)² + 16 = (x + 3)² + 49
⇒ x² + 9 - 6x + 16 = x² + 9 + 6x + 49
⇒ -12x = 33
⇒ x = -11/4
Therefore, the point is (-11/4,0).
Hope it helps!
