Question

Find the coordinates of the points that are 10 units away from the origin and have a y- coordinate equal to -8

Answer 1

Answer:

(-6, -8) and (6, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of this as a right triangle

The hypotenuse is 10

The "y" leg is |-8| = 8

x² + 8² = 10²

x² + 64 = 100

x² = 36

x = ±6

two points

(-6, -8) and (6, -8)
