I plug the answer back to the question (starting from C)
Assume y =17
(1,3) (9,17)
Then the distance equal (17-3)^2 +(9-1)^2
225+64=289
Distance equal √289=17
Ans equal C

\(x^2 + 8^2 = 17^2\)
Then
\(x^2 = 289-64\)
So
\(x = \sqrt{225}=15\)
Since it started at y equals to 3 so 15+3 = 18
D

Explanation:
Given: P (1,3) and Q (9,y) D=17. y > 0
d=√((x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²)
Sqauring both sides
d^2 = (x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²
17^2 = (9-1)^2 + (y-3)^2
289-64 = (y-3)^2
√(225) = y-3
15 = y-3 (as y>0, Taking +ve value)
y=18
