SOLUTION: A line segmemt has 2 end points M(3,7) and N (11,-6). find coordinates of point W that lies in yaxis such that W is equidistant (same distance) from M and from N

Question 1127185: A line segmemt has 2 end points M(3,7) and N (11,-6). find coordinates of point W that lies in yaxis such that W is equidistant (same distance) from M and from N
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
M( 3,7 )
N( 11, -6 )
Point W is on the y-axis, so the point is
( 0, y )
The distance squared from M to W is:

The distance squared from N to W is:

------------------------------------
Set the distances equal to each other

the point is:
( 0, -99/26 )
--------------------
check the math. you can plug result
back into equation
