True
False

Solution
This statement is False.
Explanation:
We know that, the points lying on perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the two points is equidistant from the two points.
i.e., PA should be equals to the PB.
Using distance formula,
d = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
PA = `sqrt([-4 - (4)]^2 + (6 - 2)^2`
PA = `sqrt((0)^2 + (4)^2` = 4
PB = `sqrt([-4 - 4]^2 + (-6 - 2)^2`
PB = `sqrt(0^2 + (-8)^2` = 8
∵ PA ≠ PB
