Algebra.Com's Answer #818846 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Draw this and P is 3 units above the x-axis. That is one leg of a right triangle. The hypotenuse of this right triangle is 5, the distance to the x-axis. \n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the other leg is 4 units from x=-2, or at -6 and +2 \n" ); document.write( "so the points are (-6, 0) and (2,0).\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
