Find the co ordinates of the point Q on the x axis which lies on perpendicular bisextor of the line segment joining the points A(-5,-2) and B (4,-2) . name the triangle formed by Q, A, and B . plz don't spam .tommorow is my paper​

Answer:

Explanation:

The point Q lies on the x-axis.

So, its co-ordinate will be of the FORM (x,0)

LET's take the points as Q(x,y)=(x,0) which is EQUIDISTANT from A(5,2) and B(4,2)

To find the distance, we use distance formula

d=

But AQ=BQ

∴

⟹x=

=4.5

∴ The co-ordinates of Q is (4.5,0)

∵AQ=BQ and Q lies on the perpendicular bisector of AB

Therefore, the ΔABQ is an isosceles TRIANGLE.
