How about (0,12) and (9,0) ?

There are other possibilities also.
Answered by jh
yes, these two points does equal to 15, but how did you find these points?
Answered by drwls
I thought of creating a 3:4:5 (ratio of sides) right triangle, with the hypotenuse equal to 15. The 3:4:5 ratio stays the same.

I could have also chosen
(0, 15/sqrt2) and (15/sqrt2, 0)

or

(-3,0) and (0,-4)

and many others.
