find all points having a y cordinate of -6 whose disance from the point (1,2) is 17
=================
All points a distance of 17 from the point (1,2) is a circle.

Find points on the circle that intersect with y = -6
-------

Sub y = -6

(x - 16)*(x + 14) = 0
x = -14 --> (-14,-6) *************************
x = 16 ---> (16,-6) **************************

Unknown point (x,-6) is 17 units away from the point (1,2).

Distance Formula, or standard form Circle Formula.

The distance formula seems to be less complicated.

Simplify that equation. Solve for x.
