Q. Point W is located at (−5,−3).Select all of the following that are 5 units from point W.Choose all answers that apply:(A) (−8,−5)(B) (−5,0)(C) (−5,2)
Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We need to find points that are 5 units away from point W, which is at (−5,−3). This means we are looking for points that have a distance of 5 units from W in any direction.
Use distance formula for point A: Use the distance formula to check point A (−8,−5).The distance formula is d=((x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2), where (x1,y1) is point W and (x2,y2) is point A.For point A (−8,−5), we calculate:d=((−8−(−5))2+(−5−(−3))2)d=((−8+5)2+(−5+3)2)d=(−3)2+(−2)2d=9+4d=13Since d=((x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2)0 is not equal to d=((x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2)1, point A is not d=((x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2)1 units away from point W.
Use distance formula for point B: Use the distance formula to check point B (−5,0).For point B (−5,0), we calculate:d=((−5−(−5))2+(0−(−3))2)d=(0)2+(3)2d=0+9d=9d=3Since 3 is not equal to 5, point B is not 5 units away from point W.
Use distance formula for point C: Use the distance formula to check point C (−5,2).For point C (−5,2), we calculate:d=((−5−(−5))2+(2−(−3))2)d=(0)2+(5)2d=0+25d=25d=5Since 5 is equal to 5, point C is 5 units away from point W.
