3x+4y=2
+ 4x-4y=12 add them since 4y and -4y can cancel out
7x=14 divide each side by 7
x=2

3x+4y=2 x=2
3(2)+4y=2 substitute
6+4y=2
-6 -6
4y=-4 divide each side by 4
y=-1

Find the center and radius of the circle with the given equation. Then select the correct

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The center of the circle is $(-4, 7)$ .

Its radius is $5$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $(a,\, b)$ represent the center of the circle, and let $r$ represent the radius of this circle. The equation for the circle would be:

$(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2$ .

Expand the left-hand side of this equation using the binomial expansion:

$\left(x^2 - 2\, a\,x + a^2\right) + \left(y^2 - 2\, b\, y + b^2\right) = r^2$ .

$x^2 + (- 2\,a)\, x + y^2 + (-2\, b)\, y + \left(a^2 + b^2 - r^2\right)= 0$ .

Compare this equation with the one given in the question:

$x^2 + 8x + y^2 - 14\, y + 40 = 0$ .

These two equations should represent the same circle. For that to happen, the coefficients should match. That gives a few equations about $a$ , $b$ , and $r$ .
