Y varies directly as x means y=kx or k=y/x where k is the constant of variation
find k

y=12 and x=5
k=12/5
y=kx
when x=8
y=(12/5)(8)
y=96/5

Y=x/k
12=5/k
k=5/12

k= x/y
5/12=8/y
y = 12×8/5
y = 96/5
y= 19.05

Drag and drop the symbols to enter the equation of the circle in standard form with center and radius given. Center (-8, -3), ra

lord [1]

The standard equation of a circle is given by:
(x-a)²+(y-b)²=r²
where:
(a,b) is the center and r is the radius.
Given that (a,b) is (-8,-3) and r=2 units
then the equation of the circle will be:
(x-(-8))²+(y-(-3))²=2²
simplifying the above we get:
(x+8)²+(y+3)²=4
