Answer:
The y coordinate is -7.999 ≈ -8
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>One of the points on line segment is given as (-2,2).</em>
<em>The distance given is 10.049 units.</em>
The x coordinate of other point is given as -3. Thus the point is (-3 , y),
<em>where y is y coordinate of point lying in third quadrant.</em>
The distance formula is given as,
Distance = , where
(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are endpoints of line segment.
Inserting above two points and equating to 10.049 units,
<em></em>
<em>Squaring both the sides,</em>
<em></em>
<em></em>
<em>+9.999 = (2-y) or -9.999 = (2-y)</em>
y = 2-9.999 or y = 2+9.999
<em>y = - 7.999 0r 11.999</em>
But,<em> point lies in third quadrant and is negative.</em>
<em>thus,</em><em> y = -7.999</em>
