Answer:
The equations describing the area which each tower covers are given as
Tower A : 
Tower B : 
Tower C : 
Step-by-step solution:
Cell phone radio towers broadcast a cell phone signal in circular pattern
Tower A at Adele Acres have position co-ordinates as (0,0) and a coverage radius of 4 ml. So, the area which it covers is given by the equation,
-------------------------------(1)
Tower B at Brown Lake have position co-ordinates as (5,4) and a coverage radius of 3 ml. So, the area which it covers is given by the equation,
-------------------------------(2)
Tower C at Cady City have position co-ordinates as (4,-4) and a coverage radius of 5 ml. So, the area which it covers is given by the equation,
-------------------------------(2)
Okay. In my opinion, all the class has to do is simplify the expressions and compare. But they want to substitute instead.
Well then.
First, let's notice that these are linear expressions, meaning that if they are equivalent then all their values match up.
Number 1 is not a good one. Just because they're both positive doesn't mean anything; they have to be <em>the same.</em>
This also eliminates 3.
Number 2 is a good one, but it's not as reliable. If, for instance, the two expressions are <em>not </em>equivalent and you get lucky enough to pick that one value they intersect at (or have in common), then you'd be wrong when you say they are equivalent.
Number 4 makes the most sense because if both expressions are equivalent, then every value matches up. If not, then only one will. So having two values to substitute will most definitely answer the class question.
Hope this helps, let me know if I messed up! ;)
Answer:
x intercept [a]=3
y intercept [b]=-5
we have
equation of a line is:
x/a+y/b=1
x/3+y/-5=1
(5x-3y)=15
5x-3y-15=0 is a required equation
