1. Find a function to represent the set of all points equidistant from the point (-1,3) and the line y=7

2. Find a relation to represent the set of all points equidistant from the point (2,3) and the line x=-1

I don't get this at all and cannot find help online or in my textbook
Any help would be sooo much appreciated
Thank You:D

Ok, have you tried drawing the graphs, the point and find a region equidistant from the line and the point?

Here's your line and point. I labelled your line y=7 a, your point (-1, 3) A and the function b

You'll see that any point on the line y=5 will he equidistant from both the line y=7 and the point (-1, 3)

In fact, what is it by calculations?

You find the equation of the perpendicular line that passes through the line y = 7 and the point (-1, 3). You then find the midpoint that line where is crosses your line and your point. You'll obtain (-1, 5). You now only need to write the equation of a line, parallel to your original line, passing through the midpoint you just got.

Now try doing the second question.
