Find a point on the x-axis, which is equidistant from the points (7, 6) and (3, 4).
Solution:
Let the point be P(x, y). Since it lies on the x-axis ∴ y = 0 i.e., required point be (x, 0). Since the required point is equidistant from points A(7, 6) and B(3, 4) ⇒ PA = PB ⇒ = ⇒ = ⇒ - 14x + 85 = - 6x + 25 ⇒ - 14x + 6x = 25 - 85 ⇒ 8x = 60 ⇒ x = ∴ The required point is
