Question

find the point (x,0) that is equidistant from the points (6,1) and (-2,5)

Answer 1

What you do is find the average value between each x and y value.
In this case, you would take each x-value, 6 and -2, add them up and divide by two to find the average, which ends up being 2. That's the x coordinate for your point equidistant from both points.
You would do the same thing with the y-values (1+5=6, 6/2=3) and that would be your y-value. Put the two together as a coordinate pair, and you have your point:
(2,3)
