Find all points $(x,y)$ that are $5$ units away from the point $(2,7)$ and that lie on the line $y = 5x - 28.$
Let's note something important before we begin.
All the points 5 units away from (2, 7) forms a circle with radius 5 and center of (2, 7).
A circle with that equation would look something like
(x−2)2+(y−7)2=52
Combining that with the second part of the problem, we have a system with
(x−2)2+(y−7)2=25y=5x−28
Now, we already have a value for y, and we subsitute that into the first equation to isolate x.
We find that
(x−2)2+(5x−35)2=25
Expanding and bringing all terms to one side of the equation, we get a quadratic. We find that
26x2−354x+1204=0
This gives us 2 x values that will satisfy thsi equation. We get that
x=7,x=8613
Now, we plug these two values of x back into the equation to find y, so that we can complete our problem.
We find that y=7,y=6613
So our final two abswers that satisfy all these conditions given above in the problem are
(7,7),(86/13,66/13)
Thanks! :)
