Question:

which point is 8 units away from ( 7, 5 ) ?

Choices:

A : (0,-3 )B (15,13) C ( 7, -3 ) D ( 1, 5 )

Solution:

(7, 5) and (7, 3) have the same x-coordinate, 7.

They are both on a vertical line that passes through point (7, 0).

(7, 5) is 5 units above the x-axis.

(7, -3) is 3 units below the x-axis.

5 + 3 = 8

(7, 5) and (7, 3) are 8 units apart.

Answer: C ( 7, -3 )
