Question 268997: The coordinates of the point have equal absolute value, the point is in the second quadrant, and the distance of the point from the origin is 2 Answer by drk(1908) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is Pythagorean theorem in disguise. We use
we know that c = 2 and that a = b because the absolute values are equal. Since we are in quadrant II one of the signs will be positive and the other will be negative. We get
or
divide by 2 to get
take a square root to get
Our coordinate is
(-sqrt(2), +sqrt(2))
