The standard form for the equation of a circle is :

 (x−h)^2+(y−k)^2=r2 ----------- EQ(1)
 where handk are the x and y coordinates of the center of the circle and r is the radius.
 The center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter.

 So the midpoint of the diameter with endpoints at (7,-4)and(1,-10) is :

 ((7+(1))/2,(-4+(-10))/2)=(4,-7)

 So the point (4,-7) is the center of the circle.

  Now, use the distance formula to find the radius of the circle:

  r^2=(7−(4))^2+(-4−(-7))^2=9+9=18

 ⇒r=√18

 Subtituting h=4, k=-7 and r=√18 into EQ(1) gives :

 (x-4)^2+(y+7)^2=18

Two less than 2 times a number is the same as the number plus 64. What is the number?
Alex Ar [27]
Set it up as an equation. "A number" is x.

2x-2=x+64

Move all of the x terms to one side by subtracting x from both sides, then add 2 to both sides to isolate x.

X=66

The number is 66

What is the slope of the line through (-5, -3) and (-5, -7)?
Paul [167]

Answer:

The answer is undefined.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is found using this equation: y-y1/x-x1. Fill in the coordinates to this equation. It should now look like this. -7--3/-5--5. When subtracting from two negatives, it changes into a positive. For example, -7--3 becomes -7+3, which equals -4. The same thing applies for the second part. -5--5 becomes -5+5, which equals 0. So, your slope is -4/0. However, when a 0 is in the denominator, it becomes undefined. So, the answer is undefined.
