Let the point of x-axis be P(x, 0)
Given A(2, -5) and B(-2, 9) are equidistant from P
That is PA = PB
Hence PA2 = PB2  → (1)
Distance between two points is {tex}\sqrt{[(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2]}{/tex}
PA = {tex}\sqrt{[(2 - x)^2 + (-5 - 0)^2]}{/tex}
PA2 = 4 - 4x +x2 + 25
= x- 4x + 29
Similarly, PB2 = x+ 4x + 85
Equation (1) becomes
x- 4x + 29 = x+ 4x + 85
- 8x = 56
x = -7
Hence the point on x-axis is (-7, 0)
