Question

If the distance between the point
1 po
(2,-2) and (-1,x) is 5, then the positive
value of x is:​

Answer 1

Answer:

the positive value of x is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let x1 be 2 and x2 be -1

y1 be -2 and y2 be x

d²=(x2-x1) ²+(y2-y1) ²

25=(-3)²+(x+2)²

25=9+x²+4+4x

x²+4x-12=0

(x+6)(x-2) =0

therefore,x=-6,2

the positive value of x is 2
