The distance between two points is 10 units. If one point is (-2, 3), find the coordinates of the other point.

• The coordinates of the other point can be any point on the circle with center (-2, 3) and radius 10 units.

• The coordinates of the other point can be any point on the line passing through (-2, 3) with slope 10 units.

• The coordinates of the other point can be any point on the line passing through (-2, 3) with slope -10 units.

• The coordinates of the other point can be any point on the line passing through (-2, 3) with slope 1/10 units.

• (2, -7)

• (7, -17)

• (-7, 2)

• (-17, 7)
