Verify that P = (1,-1) is the same distance from A = (5,1) as it is from B = (-1,3).
It is customary to say that P is equidistant from A and B.
Find three more points that are equidistant from A and B.
By the way, to "find" a point means to find its coordinates.
Use the text tool,  to measure the length of the segment AB by typing "AB = " + measure[A,B]".
