All i know is (square root symbol) (x1 - x2)2 + (y1 - y2)2 = 13 Answer by reviewermath(1029) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Q:
P is a point on the x-axis 13 units from the point (-3,5) Find all the possible coordinates for the point P
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A:
d = distance between P(x,0) and (-3,5) = 13, square both sides , get the square root of both sides
x + 3 = ±12
x = 12 - 3 OR x = -12 - 3
x = 9 or x = -15
Answer: (9,0) and (-15,0)
