Answer:

A = (-1,5) or  (-1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (-1,y)    B = (2,1)

 

(Distance from A to B) = √[(-1-2)² + (y-1)²] = 5

                                    =√[9 + y² - 2y + 1] = 5

Squaring on both sides

                                     =  y² - 2y + 10 = 25

                                       =y² - 2y -15 = 0

                                      = (y-5)(y+3) = 0

                                         y = 5 or -3

Therefore, A = (-1,5) or  (-1,-3)

Answer:

(-1, 5)

(-1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that coordinates of point B = (2,1) this means, x2 = 2 & y2 = 1.

The x coordinate of point A = -1

D = 5 units

Let's use the equation for distance between points, it is expressed as:

D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}

5 = \sqrt{(-1-2)^2 + (a-1)^2}

Solving further, let's square both sides,

5^2 = [\sqrt{(-1-2)^2 + (a-1)^2}]^2

25 = (-1-2)^2 + (a-1)^2

25 = 9 + (a-1)^2

Solving further, we have:

25 - 9 = (a-1)^2

16 = (a-1)^2

+/- \sqrt{16} = a-1

+/-4 = a - 1

For the possible values, we have:

a = 4+1 = 5

a = - 4 + 1 = -3

Therefore, the possible coordinates of point​ A are:

(-1, 5)

(-1, -3)

ANEK [815]

Answer:

the domain is 0 x 45 and the range is 0 h 360. The slope is -8, so the change in the height of the ballon is -8 feet per second. The h-intercept is 360, so the height of the ballon when the first noticed it was 360 feet. The x-intercept is 45, so the time it took the hot air balloon to reach the ground was 45 seconds.

Use a common denominator to write an equivelent fractions for each fraction.

Sorry for not giving you the calculation here -

5/12 and 2/9 have denominators divisible by only 3 right? Well The common denominator that can then change is 3 because that's the only number they have in common (except 1)
