find a point on x axis which is equidistant from the points (5,5) and (-2,4).

X1 = 5    Y1 = 5
X2 =-2    Y2=4
Coordinates of point = X1 + X2/2
=5 - 2/2
=3/2
Y1 + Y2/2
=5 + 4/2
=9/2
HOPE IT HELPS

Here distance formula is to be used.
since they have said X axis then y coordinate is 0.
take a point P.
then PA= PB
✓(5-x) square + (5-0 ) square =✓(x+2) Square + (0-4) Square
25+10 X +xsquare +25 =x square +4x +16
50 + 10× = 4x+20
10×- 4x = 20 -50
6x=-30
x= -5
therefore the point is (-5,0).
