Point B has coordinates (3,2). The x-coordinate of point A is −6. The distance between point A and point B is 15 units. What
are the possible coordinates of point A?
1 answer:
Answer:
Distance between two points= √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²
D= 15units
Let "k" be the y-coordinate of A
A(-6,k)
B(3,2)
15= √(3--6)²+(2-k)²
Taking square of both sides to eliminate the square root.
15²=(9)²+(2-k)²
225=81+4-4k+k²
k²-4k - 140=0
Using Quadratic Formula to evaluate
k= 14 or k=-10
The Possible coordinates of A are
(-6,14) or (-6,-10)
