70 / 50 = 1.4
1.4 * 1.4 = 1.96
So, the stopping distance increases by a factor of 1.96
170 feet * 1.96 = 333.20 feet
Answer:
The answer to your question is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Center = (0, 0)
Vertex = (13, 0)
Focus = (12, 0)
Process
From the data we know that it is a horizontal ellipse.
1.- Calculate "a", the distance from the center to the vertex.
a = 13
2.- Calculate "c", the distance from the center to the focus
c = 12
3.- Calculate b
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find it
a² = b² + c²
-Solve for b
b² = a² - c²
-Substitution
b² = 13² - 12²
-Simplification
b² = 169 - 144
b² = 25
b = 5
4.- Find the equation of the ellipse
or 
(5, 3)
x y
Plug in:
x + y = 8
5 + 3 = 8
8 = 8
Plug in:
17(5) + 17(3) = 8
85 + 51 = 8
136 = 8
Answer - No, (5, 3) is not a solution to this system of equations.
