A circle is centered at the point (5,-4) And passes through the point (-3,2). What is the equation of the circle?
1 answer:
The equation of a circle is:
(x-h)2 + (y-k)2 = r2
where (h,k) is the location of the center and r is the radius. So we need to find h, k, and r. The center is given as (5,-4) so h = 5 and k = -4:
(x-5)2 + (y-(-4))2 = r2
(x-5)2 + (y+4)2 = r2
So we need to find r. Use the distance formula to find the distance between (5,-4) and (-3,2):
r = [(5-(-3))2+((-4)-2)2]1/2
r = [82 + (-6)2]1/2
r = [64 + 36]1/2
r = 1001/2
r= 10
The final equation is:
(x-5)2 + (y+4)2 = 102

y2 - y1
---------
x2 - x1
3 - 1 2 1
------- = -------- = --------
4 - 0 4 2
Find the y-intercept:
1 = 1/2(0) + b
1 = 0 + b
-0 -0
1 = b
The slope-intercept equation is:
y = 1/2x + 1
so its D
