You should find two of them. Use the Distance Formula.

sqrt%28%28x-%28-1%29%29%5E2%2B%282x%2B1-%283%29%29%5E2%29=4
sqrt%28%28x%2B1%29%5E2%2B%282x-2%29%5E2%29=4
%28x%2B1%29%5E2%2B%282x-2%29%5E2=4
and you know what to do from here.


The resulting two points you should find are (1,3) and (-1/5, 3/5).
