Question

find the point on x axis which is equidistant from the points (2,-2) and (-4,2)​

Answer 1

Answer:

(-1,0)

Explanation:

point A (2,-2) and point B (-4,2)

Let point P be the point on x-axis whose coordinates be (X,0) which is equidistant from points A (2,-2) and B (-4,2).

since , x = x1 + x2/ 2

therefore, x= 2-4/2

x=-1

since, y= y1 + y2/ 2

therefore, y= -2+2/2

y= 0

Therefore point P(-1,0)

Since on X-AXIS the coordinates are (X,0)
