Short Answer TypeFind the point on the x-axis which is equidistant from (2, –5) and (–2, 9)
Let the required point be ‘P’ which is on the x-axis, so its ordinate = 0 and abscissa (say) = x
Therefore, co-ordinates of the point P are (x, 0).
Let the given points be A(2, -5) and B(—2, 9).
It is given that:
x2 - 4x + 29 = x2 + 4x + 85
⇒ -4x - 4x = 85 - 29
⇒ -8x = 56⇒ x = -7
Therefore, the required point is (-7, 0).
Find the values of y for which the distance between the points P(2, – 3) and Q(10, y) is 10 units.
If Q(0, 1) is equidistant from P(5, –3) and R(x, 6), find the values of x. Also find the distances QR and PR.
Find the coordinates of the point which divides the join of (–1, 7) and (4, –3) in the ratio 2 : 3.
Long Answer TypeShort Answer TypeTo conduct Sports Day activities, in your rectangular shaped school ground ABCD, lines have been drawn with chalk powder at a distance of 1m each. 100 flower pots have been placed at a distance of 1m from each other along AD, as shown in Fig. 7.12. Niharika runs

Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points (– 3, 10) and (6, – 8) is divided by (– 1, 6).
Find the ratio in which the line segment joining A(1, – 5) and B(– 4, 5) is divided by the x-axis. Also find the coordinates of the point of division
