Question

. The distance between the points (3, 1) and
(0, x) is 5. Find x.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

-4 and 6

Explanation:

Here the 'x' has the value of y ordinate therefore we have to use '1' as the value to find the answer.

Here we can add or subtract 1 to get the value of x

Therefore,

x= 1+5

x=6

Now,

x=1-5

x= -4

Hence the value of x can be -4 and 6

Answer 2

Answer:

x=3 or x= -5

Explanation:

(3-0)2 + (1-x)2 = 25

10-2x+x2=25

(x-5)(x+3)=0

so,

x=5 or x=-3
