find the value of x and y if the distance of the point (x, y) from (-2,0) and (2,0) are both 14 units.

 and   are both 14 units from points (-2, 0) and (2, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

distance formula

We want the distance, d, from points (-2, 0) and (2, 0) to be 14.

Point (-2, 0):

Point (2, 0):

We have a system of equations:

Since the right sides of both equations are equal, we set the left sides equal.

Square both sides:

Square the binomials and combine like terms.

Now we substitute x = 0 in the first equation of the system of equations:

Square both sides.

The points are:

 and  

6.5
