Question

Find all points on the y-axis that are 5 units from the point (4, 6). (smaller y-value)(x, y) = (larger y-value)

Answer 1

Step 1:

Write the parent coordinates

(4 , 6)

Step 2

The point can bo on the positive y-axis or on the negative y-axis.

New coordinates

( 4 + 5, 6 + 5)

= (9 , 11)

Or

( 4 - 5, 6 - 5)

= (-1 , 1)

Final answer

Smaller y-value = 1

Larger y-value = 11
