Are the coordinates of the points A & B given correctly?
If a point P(x,y) is equidistant from two points A & B, then P lies on the perpendicular bisector of AB.
We see that y coordinates of A & B are the equal. So AB parallel to x axis. So perpendicular bisector is perpendicular to x axis.
It is given by: x = [(a-b) + (-a-b) ] /2
x = -b or x + b = 0
