What is the y-coordinate of the point on the y-axis that is equidistant from points A( -2, 0) and B(-1,4)?

Since the point is on the y-axis , the x value will be ZERO    so the point will be   0,y

 

Using the distance formula

   (-2)^2 + y^2      =     (-1)^2 + (4-y)^2

     4    + y^2        =       1      + 16 + y^2 -8y

                 8y       =        13

                    y = 13/8
