The distance between those two points is $\"1-%28-8%29=9\"$ so then the missing distance is,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2x%2B2y=26\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%289%29%2B2y=26\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18%2B2y=26\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2y=8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The y coordinate can either move up or down,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%5B1%5D=-6-4=-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%5B2%5D=-6%2B4=-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So the other two points are either,
\n" ); document.write( "(1,-10)
\n" ); document.write( "(-8,-10)
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "(1,-2)
\n" ); document.write( "(-8,-2)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
