I am getting 7 as the value of b. I do not believe 4 is a correct answer!
Here's why:
General equation of a circle in the xy plane

with
being the x,y coordinates of the center.
The center point can be determined from the two endpoints of the diameter because the line segment is horizontal, so we just find the center of the x coordinates of the two points:

and the radius r = diameter/2 = 8-(-2)/2 = 5
so we have

Given a point on the circle (0,b) with b>0:

Answer:
14,15,16
Step-by-step explanation:
14+15=29
add up 29 + 16 = 45
Answer:
13.5 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply
3 × 576 = 128x
3 × 576 = 1,728
1,728 = 128x
1,728 ÷ 128 = x
13.5 = x
Answer:
Liam's rate = 3 meters per second
Edgar's rate = 3.2 meters per second
Edgar swims faster

5000 × .06 = $300 balance $5,300
5300 × .06 = $318 balance $5,618
5618 × .06 = $337.08 balance $5,955.08
5955.08 ×.06 = $357.30 balance $6,312.38
