The answer is B. 5.3 miles per day * 17 days = 90.1 total miles.
The answer is y=(1/2)x -5
You are given the slope and a core donate pair so you plug them in to the equation. 2=x. -4=y. And (1/2)= m
Then work out like a one step equation
X² + 8x +y² - 2y -64 =0
We see that the equation has x² and y² . Also we see that coefficients in front of x² and y² are equal. So this is an equation of the circle.
(x² + 8x) +(y² - 2y) -64 =0
(x² + 8x) +(y² - 2y) = 64
We need to complete square for x and y groups, that means it should be written in form (a+b)² or (a-b)².
Expressions in parenthesis we will write as a²+/-2ab+b², to write it after as (a+/-b)², because a²+/-2ab+b² = (a+/-b)²
(x² + 2*4x) +(y² - 2*1y) = 64
(x² + 2*4x+4²) +(y² - 2*1y+1²) = 64+4²+1²
(x+4)² + (y-1)²= 81 Sometimes this is called a standard form of the circle.
(x+4)² + (y-1)²= 9² Sometimes it is required to write like this.
And if you are studying circles,ellipses and hyperbolas, the standard form should look like
