SUMMARY
The set of all points equidistant from the points P=(-5,7,6) and Q=(-6,-4,2) in 3D space is defined by the equation of the plane that bisects the segment connecting P and Q. The equation can be derived using the distance formula in 3D space, which is given by √((x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)² + (z2-z1)²). The midpoint of P and Q serves as a reference point for this plane.
