The coordinates of two points are A(-2,6) and B(9,3). Find the coordinates of the point C on the x-axis such that AC=BC ,, Thanks for helping :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

consider the point C as(x,0) now..using the distance between the two points formula ....solve for x..

Distance between two points is 11.4units o-o...How to solve for x o-o?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not between Aand B... FOR AC u get one equation ..and for BC u get another equation........ equate the two..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

consider the point C(a,b) then (6-b)^2+(-2-a)^2=(3-b)^2+(9-a)^2

@juan_chi the y-coordinate of the point lying on x- axis is zero.... so ur b=0

Thanks i got it :D
