Question

PLEASE HELP I NEED IT PLEEASE.

A map of a farm is shown in a coordinate plane in which the coordinates are measured in yards. The map shows the barn at (-1, 2). A well is dug at (-1, y). What are two values of y such that the barn is 50 yards from the well?

Answer 1

Values for y are y = 52 or y = -48

Explanation:

No diagram was provided but the question had enough information to be answered

Since the x coordinates of both barn and well are the same, it means the well is either vertically north of the barn or vertically south.

Therefore y can be either 2 + 50 = 52 giving (-1, 52) as one coordinate

Also y can be 2 - 50 = -48 giving (-1, -48) as another coordinate
