Eight hours a day is a healthy average
The slope of this is 1/2.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The center lies on the vertical line x = -5 and the the circle is tangent to (touches in one place only) the y-axis. Thus, the radius is 5.
2) Starting with (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 and comparing this to the given
(x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 6^2
we see that h = 4, k = -3 and r = 6. The center is at (4, -3) and the radius is 6.
3) Notice that A and B have the same x-coordinate, x = 15. The center of the circle is thus (15, -2), where that -2 is the halfway point between the two given points in the vertical direction. Arbitrarily choose A(15, 4) as one point on the circle. Then the equation of this circle is
(x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = r^2 = 6^2, where the 6 is one half of the vertical distance between A(15, 4) and B(15, -8) (which is 12).
Answer:
see below for explanation
3x +2y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-coordinate and the y-coordinate are both linear functions of t, so their relationship to each other is linear. A graph of those (x, y) points must be a line.
___
You can find an equation by solving one of the expressions for t, then substituting that into the other.
x = 2t +3
t = (x -3)/2
Substituting into the y expression, we get ...
y = 3 -3(x -3)/2
y = (-3/2)x + 15/2
3x +2y = 15 . . . . . . . add 3/2x and multiply by 2 to put into standard form
_____
The attached graph shows a portion of the line defined parametrically (0 ≤ t ≤ 1). It is dotted so you can see it overlays the line defined by the linear equation in x and y.
