Line Length to Missing Coordinate - Including Negative (Level 2)

This topic focuses on determining missing coordinates on a Cartesian grid to satisfy a given line length, including scenarios that involve negative coordinates. Learners tackle problems where either the x or y coordinate is missing, and they must use the distance formula implicitly or similar methods to find the correct coordinate value from multiple choices, given the length of the line segment.
