Question 147104: Plot all points that are 3 units from the x axis. Describe the configuration. Then, plot all the points 3 units from (5,4) and describe their configuration.
I know that all of the points 3 units from the x axis are along the line y=3. I just don't know how to find the units from (5,4). THANKS!!!

Plot all points that are 3 units from the x axis. Describe the configuration. Then, plot all the points 3 units from (5,4) and describe their configuration.
----------
3 units from the x-axis would be the lines x = 3 and x = -3.
3 units from a point is a circle of radius 3 about that point. In this case,
%28x-5%29%5E2+%2B+%28y-4%29%5E2+=+3%5E2
