Algebra.Com's Answer #175373 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since both points are on the y-axis, the perpendicular bisector will be parallel to the x-axis and 2 units from it. \n" ); document.write( "Any point on y = 2 fits. \n" ); document.write( "(1,2) \n" ); document.write( "(5,2) \n" ); document.write( "(-55,2) \n" ); document.write( "(x,2) works. \n" ); document.write( "----------- \n" ); document.write( "To find the distance for 2 of the points: \n" ); document.write( "(1,2) from (0,0) \n" ); document.write( "s^2 = diffy^2 + diffx^2 = 1 + 4 \n" ); document.write( "s^2 = 5 \n" ); document.write( "(1,2) from (0,4) \n" ); document.write( "s^2 = 1 + 4 \n" ); document.write( "Same distance (if the squares are equal, they're equal) \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "(-55,2) from (0,0) \n" ); document.write( "s^2 = 55^2 + 4 = 3029 \n" ); document.write( "(-55,2) from (0,4) \n" ); document.write( "s^2 = 3025 + 4 = 3029 --> same distance sqrt(3029) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
