Question

The coordinates of the point on x-axis, equidistant from the points (1,3) and (-1,2) is​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since point lies on x-axis, y-coordinate of the point will be zero.

Let P(x,0) be on x-axis which is equidistant from A(−1,0) and B(5,0)

Using section formula:

x=1+11×(5)+1×(−1)

or x=2

Thus, the required point is (2,0).

Answer 2

Answer:

2,0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since point lies on x-axis, y-coordinate of the point will be zero.

Let P(x,0) be on x-axis which is equidistant from A(−1,0) and B(5,0)

Using section formula:

x=1+11×(5)+1×(−1)

or x=2

Thus, the required point is (2,0).
