what are the coordinates of point p on the directed line segment from a to b such that p is the length of the line segment from a to b?

the answer is: -11/4 & -1/2 on edg

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x^2 + y^2 = 1024

discussion:

the equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius "r" is

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.

in our case

(x-0)^2 + (y-0) ^2 = 32^2 = 1024

you,

mrb

the easiest way to do these would be to solve the equations. if you can solve the equation than you can solve these problems.
