Electric potential is a scalar quantity....

Electric potential is a scalar quantity. Due to a point charge charge q at distance r, the potential is given by `V=(q)/(4pi in_(0)r)`. A point charge q is placed at `(3a, 0)` and another charge `-2q` is placed at `(-3a, 0)`.
At how many points on the x-axis, (at finite distance) electric potential will be zero?
