Points A and B are plotted on the grid. Find the point on the -axis that is equidistant from A and B.

Class 10Coordinate GeometryGeometry — Coordinates
  • A(0, 3)
  • B(−1, 0)
  • C(0, 1)
  • D(1, 0)

Step-by-Step Solution

Let the point be , with A , B . The point is .
Answer: D) (1, 0)

Key idea: Section formula and midpoint

**Section formula (internal)**:
A point dividing segment in ratio closer to A means smaller) has coordinates:



Where ₁, ₁), ₂, ₂).

**Midpoint** is the special case .

**Example**: Find the point dividing in ratio 2:3 where .
Point: (3, 1).
