You move up 2 units. You end at (3, 10). Where did you start?

your answer is

a.

5

step-by-step explanation:

isocolese triangle

we know that the line connect a and b is the hyptonuse

so first find the hypotonuse length using the distance formula, call the length c

since it is an isocolese triangle, the lengths of the legs are the same

using pythagorean theorem,

in this case, a=b since isocolese triangle so we get

or

we can find c so we can find the distances

we know that if we draw 2 circles, each has center at a and b, and find where they intersect, we can the 2 possible locations for c

if a has center at (xa,ya) and b has center at (xb,yb), then we can solve where

and

intersect to find where they intersect

i'm not going to put an example because i have to go to class. i hope this explanation is enough

hi there!

the answer is: 2 and -2

step-by-step explanation:

case 1: an absolute value of positive number will still be a positive number

so absolute value of 2 is 2

case 2: an absolute value of negative number will be positive number so absolute value of -2 is 2
