Construct a line from a perpendicular to the x-axis, determine the distance from a to the x-axis along this perpendicular line, find a new point on the other side of the x-axis that is equidistant from the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine distances, we need to use this formula:

To apply that formula we need to use the coordinates of point, but in this case will be calculated generally, due to the lack of specific values.

So, Point A have the coordinates

Let's call Point P the one that's on the x-axis, its coordinates are

Applying the formula, the distance between this two points will be:

To find an opposite and equidistant point, we only need to use opposite values. So, let's call Point B, the opposite point, its coordinates will be:

And the distance will be the same, because squared values will always results positive.

me! what did you put for this question?
