उत्तर
Let A(−1, 0) and B(5, 0) be the given points. Suppose the required point on the x-axis be P(x, 0).
It is given that P(x, 0) is equidistant from A(−1, 0) and B(5, 0).
∴ PA = PB
⇒ PA2 = PB2 \[\Rightarrow \left[ x - \left( - 1 \right) \right]^2 + \left( 0 - 0 \right)^2 = \left( x - 5 \right)^2 + \left( 0 - 0 \right)^2\] (Using distance formula)
\[\Rightarrow \left( x + 1 \right)^2 = \left( x - 5 \right)^2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow x^2 + 2x + 1 = x^2 - 10x + 25\]
\[ \Rightarrow 12x = 24\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = 2\]
Thus, the required point is (2, 0).

Prove that the points (3, 0), (6, 4) and (-1, 3) are the vertices of a right-angled isosceles triangle.
(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.
All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.
There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
