Use the distance formula,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"D%5E2=%28x1-x2%29%5E2%2B%28y1-y2%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"D%5E2=%28x-1%29%5E2%2B%28-2-5%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"D%5E2=%28x-1%29%5E2%2B%28-7%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"D%5E2=%28x-1%29%5E2%2B49\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-1%29%5E2=D%5E2-49\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-1=0+%2B-+sqrt%28D%5E2-49%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=1+%2B-+sqrt%28D%5E2-49%29%29\"$
