The values of y are 1 and 3

What is distance formula -

\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

x1 and y1 are x and y coordinates of a point.

similarly x2 and y2 are x and y coordinates of another point.

Explanation with steps -

As point P is equidistant from Q and R, the distances PQ and PR should be the same.

So, calculate distance PQ can be calculated from the above formula

The distance PQ is \sqrt{50}

now use this distance to calculate the unkown 'y'

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{(-10-(-3))^2+(y-2)^2}

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{49+(y-2)^2}

Squaring both sides

50 = 49 + (y-2)^{2}

y^{2}-4y+3=0

On factorizing,

(y-1)(y-3)=0

Thus we get values of y to be 1 or 3
