What is the x-coordinate of the point on the x-axis that is equidistant from points A( -2, 0) and B(0,8)?
+36915 Since it is on the x axis, the point will be of the from (x,0 )
Use the distance formula :for point 1 and point 2 and equate them
(-2 - x )^2 + 0^2 = x^2 + (8)^2
x^2 + 4x + 4 = x^2 + 64
4x -60 = 0
x = 15
