Given:
The table of values is:
x : -7 -5 -3 -1
y : 5 9 13 17
To find:
Whether the given data is linear and then find the equation.
Solution:
The given data is linear if the slope and rate of change is constant.
Slope formula:

Using the slope formula. we get



Since the rate of change is constant, i.e., 2, therefore the given data is linear.
The slope of a linear equation is 2 and it passes through the point (-7,5). So, the equation of the line is:




Adding 5 on both sides, we get


Therefore, the equation for the given data is

Answer:the answer is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that the equation of a circle is:

Where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.
We need to get the equation into that form, and find k.

Complete the square. We must do this for x² - 6x and y² - 10y separately.
x² - 6x
Divide -6 by 2 to get -3.
Square -3 to get 9. Add 9,
x² - 6x + 9
Because we've added 9 on one side of the equation, we have to remember to do the same on the other side.

Now factor x² - 6x + 9 to get (x - 3)² and do the same thing with y² - 10y.
y² - 10y
Divide -10 by 2 to get -5.
Square -5 to get 25.
Add 25 on both sides.

Factor y² - 10y + 25 to get (y - 5)²

Now our equation is in the correct form. We can easily see that h is 3 and k is 5. (not negative because the original equation has -h and -k so you must multiply -1 to it)
Since (h, k) represents the center, (3, 5) is the center and 5 is the y-coordinate of the center.
