Question 962413: find the point on y-axis which is equidistant from the points (3,1,2) and (5,5,2)

Answer by Murthy(22) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let A(3,1,2) and B(5,5,2)
and C is the point on Y-axis its co-ordinates will be (0,y,0)
if A and B are equidistant from C then
AC^2=BC^2
therefore, 3^2 + (y-1)^2 + 2^2 = 5^2 + (y-5)^2 + 2^2

solving the above equation gives, y=5
