@Nnesha do you know how ?
well the y-coordinate is given and the x-coordinates stated in the problem if you move a dot on the x-axis the y-coordinate will stays the same.
yea that one
do u know how ?
https://prnt.sc/gzkfks so what will be the y-coordinate ?
i honestly have no clue
0,a?
|dw:1508451843943:dw| for example ^^in that drawing i moved a dot from one place to another to the right the y value is still 3 for all dots the x-coordinate is changing in an order pair (x,y) the first number represent the x and 2nd one represent the y-coordinate
if you move that same dot up or down then the x values will stays the same while y-coordinate values will be changing.
so the answer will be( 0,?)
https://prnt.sc/gzkhox so if you move the dot from the y-axis to the middle which coordinate should be the same ?
oh if you move it right or left y will be changing
\[\huge\rm (\color{Red}{x},\color{blue}{y})\] remember if you move the dot left or right the y should stays the same/
so it will be (?,y) right?
i mean
(?,a)
y is the same
and what will x be ?
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Sarah10 (?,a) \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) yes right!
x is the longer side in order to find the x-coordinate first you have to find the length of the shorter side https://prnt.sc/gzkj2l
how will i find it ?
is it 0,0
use the distance formula
you don't really have to use the formula how long is that line ishttps://prnt.sc/gzkk64 ?
like that ?
ohh there you go yes that's right!
so answer is a
No. that's the length of shorter side so the longer side will be what ?
it is in the question :)
3?
`3 times its shorter side`
shorter side =a so what will be the expression ?
it says three times the shorter side so
3a?
im so confused lol
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Sarah10 3a? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) yes right
(3a,a) is the final answer?
omg i cant thank you enough for bearing with my stupidity!!

learning something doesn't considered as stupidity.
i understand
