Square root (1-x) (squared) + (6-y) (Squared) equals to root 40 (Basically the distance formula with the answer)
I need to try find x and y
------------
Sqrt%28%281-x%29%5E2+%2B+%286-y%29%5E2%29+=+sqrt%2840%29
Square both sides
%281-x%29%5E2+%2B+%286-y%29%5E2+=+40
%281-x%29%5E2+=+40+-+%286-y%29%5E2
1-x+=+sqrt%2840+-+%286-y%29%5E2%29
x+=+1+-+sqrt%2840+-+%286-y%29%5E2%29
====================
You can get y in terms of x in a similar manner
