The answer is either a or d but we know she did all of this for more than 52 minutes.
Let
. The tangent plane to the surface at (0, 0, 8) is

The gradient is

so the tangent plane's equation is

The normal vector to the plane at (0, 0, 8) is the same as the gradient of the surface at this point, (1, 1, 1). We can get all points along the line containing this vector by scaling the vector by
, then ensure it passes through (0, 0, 8) by translating the line so that it does. Then the line has parametric equation

or
,
, and
.
(See the attached plot; the given surface is orange, (0, 0, 8) is the black point, the tangent plane is blue, and the red line is the normal at this point)
we can see that the center is (-3, 3) and the radius is 9 units.

How to find the center and radius of the circle?</h3>
The general circle equation, for a circle with a center (a, b) and radius R is given by:
(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2
Here we have the equation:
x^2 + y^2 + 6x = 6y + 63
Let's complete squares:
x^2 + y^2 + 6x - 6y = 63
(x^2 + 6x) + (y^2 - 6y) = 63
(x^2 + 2*3x) + (y^2 - 2*3y) = 63
Now we can add and subtract 9, (two times) so we get:
(x^2 + 2*3x + 9) - 9 + (x^2 - 2*3x + 9) - 9 = 63
(x + 3)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 63 + 9 + 9 = 81 = 9^2
(x + 3)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 9^2
Comparing with the general circle equation, we can see that the center is (-3, 3) and the radius is 9 units.

Answer:
y = -4/5 x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
15y = -45 - 12x
5y = -15 - 4x
y = -4/5 x - 3
