The point (3, y) is equidistant from the point (10, 3) and (-5, -1). Find the value of y.
=================
From (3,y) to (10,3):

----
From (3,y) to (-5,-1):

----
From (3,y) to (10,3):

8y = -7
y = -7/8
--------------
Another approach:
Find the perpedicular bisector of the line between the 2 points, then find y when x = 3.
