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.

The average speed of a car on a stretch of interstate is 70 miles per hour. Convert this rate to feet per second.

Answer:

<h3>102. 66 feet / Second</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

To do conversion change miles into feet and hour into second.

One foot is 5280 feet

And an hour is 3600sec

70 miles / Hour

70 * 5280feet / 3600 second

369600 feet / 3600seconds

Then simplify

102. 66 feet / Second
