Relationship Between x and y

Find a relationship between x and y such that (x, y) is equidistant
(the same distance) from the two points.

Two points: (6, 5), (1, −8)

The question is asking for a point that is the same distance from the two given points. Yes? If so, is there a formula to work out this question?

mathland,

You are being unnecessarily aggressive.  I don't think the question is poorly stated.  If you don't find a response helpful, then just ignore it.

I seem to remember helping with a similar question here:

Ok. I updated my reply. I have been going back and forth with this guy after I was wrongly accused of posting an inappropriate thread.
