Question

State whether the following statement are true or false. Justify your answer.

Point P (0, –7) is the point of intersection of y-axis and perpendicular bisector of line segment joining the points A (–1, 0) and B (7, –6).

Answer 1

True. P (0, –7) lies on the y -axis. It is at a distance of √50 units from both the points (–1, 0) and (7, –6).
