Question

Segment AB has point A located at (4, 2). If the distance from A to B is 3 units, which of the following could be used to calculate the coordinates for point B? (5 points) 3 = square root of the quantity of x minus 2 all squared plus y minus 4 all squared 3 = square root of the quantity of x minus 4 all squared plus y minus 2 all squared 3 = square root of the quantity of x plus 2 all squared plus y plus 4 all squared 3 = square root of the quantity of x plus 4 all squared plus y plus 2 all squared

Answer 1

Applying the distance formula, to calculate the coordinates of B, use: 3 =√[(x-4)² + (y-2)²]  

What is the Distance Formula?

The distance formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$, is used to find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane.

We are given one point A(4, 2), let:

B (x, y) = (x2, y2)

A(4, 2) = (x1, y1)

d = 3 units

Plug in the values into the distance formula to find how to calculate the coordinates of B:

3 =√[(x-4)² + (y-2)²]
