Your friend is trying to grow her hair as long as her cousin’s hair. The table shows their hair lengths y (in inches) in differe

<span>Given the
table that shows the hair lengths y (in inches) of your friend and her cousin in different months x.
Month Friends Hair(in) Cousins Hair(in)
3 4 7
8 6.5 9.
To solve for the cousins hair, recall that the equation of a line is given by
y = mx + c
From the table,
7 = 3m + c . . . (1)
9 = 8m + c . . . (2)
(1) - (2) ⇒ -2 = -5m
Substituting for m into equation (1) gives:
Therefore, the equation representing the growth of the cousin's hair is given by y = 1.2x + 5.8

Equation is
Center is (-1, -2)
Radius = 5
===========================================
Work Shown:
center = (h,k) = (-1,-2)
radius = 5
-----------------------------
Explanation:
I grouped up the x and y terms separately. Then I added 1 to both sides to complete the square for the x terms. I cut the 2 from 2x in half, then squared it to get 1. In the next step, I cut the 4 from 4y in half to get 2, which squares to 4. So that's why I added 4 to both sides to complete the square for the y terms.
Each piece is factored using the perfect squares factoring rule which is a^2+2ab+b^2 = (a+b)^2
The last equation is in the form (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
We can think of x+1 as x - (-1) to show that h = -1
Similarly, y+2 = y-(-2) = y-k to show that k = -2
The center is (h,k) = (-1,-2)
The radius is r = 5 because r^2 = 5^2 = 25 is on the right hand side in the last equation above.
