AB = AU + UB = 20x + 108 + 273 = 20x + 381

$\cfrac{AU}{AB} =\cfrac{UV}{BC} \\ \\ \cfrac{20x+108}{20x+381} =\cfrac{444}{703} \\ \\ 703(20x+108)=444(20x+381)\\\\14060x+75924=8880x+169164 \\ \\ 14060x-8880x = 169164 - 75924 \\ \\ 5180x = 93240 \\ \\ x=93240/5180 \\ \\ x=18$

Reflected over the x-axis, then translated 6<br> units left

lapo4ka [179]

Take the original coordinate (x,y)
to reflect over x-axis change it to (x,-y)
*basically change the sign of y*
to translate 6 units left (x-6,y)
* basically subtract 6 from x
So your new point should be (x-6,-y)

What is the equation for a circle with a center at (5,-2) and passes through (4,0)?

Kisachek [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

since you said equation I'm assuming it's in terms of x and y Just as a general equation

since the centre of the circle isn't at 0, you have to take that into account using the formula above. solve for the radius of the circle by substituting (4,0) into the formula and get your r value to replace in the original formula
