Algebra.Com's Answer #6730 by rapaljer(4671)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The points you need to find are (2, y) such that the distance from (2,y) to (-2, -1) is 5. You are right to use the distance formula!!\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Square both sides of the equation: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "y=3-1; or y = -3 -1 \n" ); document.write( "y = 2 or y = -4\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The points are (2,2) and (2, -4).\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check: Distance from (2,2) to (-2, -1) = \n" ); document.write( "Distance from (2,-4) to (-2, -1) = \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "R^2 at SCC\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
