The point (3, y) is equidistant from the point (10, 3) and (-5, -1). Find the value of y.
\n" ); document.write( "=================
\n" ); document.write( "From (3,y) to (10,3):
\n" ); document.write( "\"d%5E2+=+%28y-3%29%5E2+%2B+%283-10%29%5E2%29+=+y%5E2+-+6y+%2B+58\"
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "From (3,y) to (-5,-1):
\n" ); document.write( "\"d%5E2+=+%28y%2B1%29%5E2+%2B+%283%2B5%29%5E2%29+=+y%5E2+%2B+2y+%2B+65\"
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "From (3,y) to (10,3):
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2+%2B+2y+%2B+65+=+y%5E2+-+6y+%2B+58\"
\n" ); document.write( "8y = -7
\n" ); document.write( "y = -7/8
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Another approach:
\n" ); document.write( "Find the perpedicular bisector of the line between the 2 points, then find y when x = 3.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
