Answer:

The possible coordinates of point A are A_{1} (x,y) = (-8, 14) and A_{2} (x,y) = (-8, -10), respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Analytical Geometry, we have the Equation of the Distance of a Line Segment between two points:

l_{AB} = \sqrt{(x_{B}-x_{A})^{2} + (y_{B}-y_{A})^{2}} (1)

Where:

l_{AB} - Length of the line segment AB.

x_{A}, x_{B} - x-coordinates of points A and B.

y_{A}, y_{B} - y-coordinates of points A and B.

If we know that l_{AB} = 15, x_{A} = -8, x_{B} = 1 and y_{B} = 2, then the possible coordinates of point A is:

\sqrt{(1+8)^{2}+(2-y_{A})^{2}} = 15

81 + (2-y_{A})^{2} = 225

(2-y_{A})^{2} = 144

2-y_{A} = \pm 12

There are two possible solutions:

1) 2-y_{A} = -12

y_{A} = 14

2) 2 - y_{A} = 12

y_{A} = -10

The possible coordinates of point A are A_{1} (x,y) = (-8, 14) and A_{2} (x,y) = (-8, -10), respectively.

What is the slope or change of 6(x-y) =5(x+y)
scoundrel [369]
6x - 6y = 5x + 5y ; / - 6x
We solve for y ;
-6y = -x + 5y ;  / -5y
-y = -x ;  / *(-1) ;
y = 1*x ;
The slope is 1.

Solve the proportion. Show your work. 3x + 1 = 511
k0ka [10]
<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷ 3x + 1 = 511

Subtract 1 from both sides:

3x = 510

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 170
