Question 9 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)

(04.01 LC)
Segment AB has point A located at (8, 9). If the distance from A to B is 10 units, which of the following could be used to calculate the coordinates for point B

Answer 1

Answer:
`\bold{10 = \sqrt {\left( {x- 8 } \right)^2 + \left( {y - 9 } \right)^2 }}`

Explanation:

Given:

The coordinates of Point A: (8, 9)

The coordinates of Point B are unknown: (x, y)

The distance from A to B is 10 units

Then, using the distance formula:

`AB = \sqrt {\left( {x- 8 } \right)^2 + \left( {y - 9 } \right)^2 }`

Therefore,

`10 = \sqrt {\left( {x- 8 } \right)^2 + \left( {y - 9 } \right)^2 }`
