Applying the distance formula:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+26+=+sqrt%28+%28+k+-+0+%29%5E2+%2B+%28+-8+-%28-7%29+%29%5E2+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+26+=+sqrt%28++k%5E2+%2B+%28+-1+%29%5E2+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+26+=+sqrt%28+k%5E2+%2B+1+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+26%5E2+=+k%5E2+%2B+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+676+=+k%5E2+%2B+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+k%5E2+=+675+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+k+=+25.98+\"
\n" ); document.write( "also
\n" ); document.write( "If \"k\" is assumed to be negative
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28-k%29%5E2+=+675+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-k+=+25.98+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+k+=+-25.98+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Hope I got it
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
