Parker threw a ball from a window whose location is at (13, 5). The ball touched the ground and bounced forward making an angle of 90 degrees with the line segment connecting the coordinates of the window and the point where the ball touched the ground. Fatima caught the ball whose current location is at (0, 8). What will be the x−coordinate of the point on the ground where the ball touches? Consider the ground to be on the X−axis.
