Question 776200: P is a point on the x-axis 13 units from the point (-3,5) Find all the possible coordinates for the point P. I'm so confused please help, thanks!
All i know is (square root symbol) (x1 - x2)2 + (y1 - y2)2 = 13

Q:
P is a point on the x-axis 13 units from the point (-3,5) Find all the possible coordinates for the point P
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A:
d = distance between P(x,0) and (-3,5)
= 13, square both sides

, get the square root of both sides
x + 3 = �12
x = 12 - 3 OR x = -12 - 3
x = 9 or x = -15
Answer: (9,0) and (-15,0)
