They show the endpoints of the base of the isosceles triangle.  The other vertex would be on the y-axis and would be the center of  a circle.  Notice that the given points form the segment of the triangle parallel to the x-axis.  This makes identifying the point on the x-axis to be easy.  Look for the midpoint of x coordinates of -5 and 2.\r<BR>\n" );
