Write the equation of the circle whose center is (-5, -8) with diameter 12
1 answer:
Answer:
(x + 5)^2 + (y + 8)^2 = 6^2
Step-by-step explanation:
A circle formula: (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
We are given diameter. To find the radius divide diameter by 2.
d = 12
12/2 = r = 6
H and K are given to be (-5 , -8)
(x - (-5))^2 + (y - (-8))^2 = 6^2
(x + 5)^2 + (y + 8)^2 = 6^2
I have plot this equation to confirm my answer is correct where the origin is (-5 , -8) and has a radius of 6.

Answer:
y - 1 = (x - 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
Here m = and (a, b) = (2, 1), thus
y - 1 = (x - 2) ← equation of line
