Find all points $(x,y)$ that are $5$ units away from the point $(2,7)$ and that lie on the line $y = 5x - 28.$
First, let's make some observations.
Note that all points that are 5 units away from the point (2, 7) froms a circle with radius 5 and center (2, 7).
The equation for that circle would be (x−2)2+(y−7)2=25
Combining this with the second equation, we get a system.
(x−2)2+(y−7)2=25y=5x−28
We already have a y value in terms of x, so we plug that into the first equation.
We get
(x−2)2+(5x−35)2=25x2−4x+4+25x2−350x+1225=2513x2−177x+602=0
Now, we can solve for x. Using the quadratic equation, we get
x=−(−177)±√(−177)2−4⋅13⋅6022⋅13
x=177±526
x=7x=8613
Plugging these values for y, we get
(x=7,y=7x=8613,y=6613)
So our final answer is (7, 7) and (86/13, 66/13)
Thanks! :)
