THis is a cool question.
1) Use the point slope form to find the equation of the lines between two of the points (choose two points that when a line is drawn between them make a chord on the circle).
2) Use the midpoint of a line equation to find the midpoint of the line, then find the slope of the line that is perpendicular at that point and write an equation for it.
3) Then do the same thing for the other two points that form a chord on the circle.
4) Then set the two equations equal to each other and solve. The point where they meet is the circumcenter.

Based on the table of values below, find the slope between points where x = 5 and

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Slope = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The table gives the values of y corresponding to the values of x.

At x =5, y = 2.

At x = 7, y = 6 and

At x = 10, y = 7

Now, we have to determine the slope between points where x = 5 and where x = 10.

Now, the two concerned points are (5,2) and (10,7) and we have to find the slope between those two points.

Now, slope, $m = \frac{7 - 2}{10 - 5} = 1$ (Answer)

Let x represent the height of the model.

We have been given that a construction company built a scale model of a building. The model was built using a scale of 3 inches = 32 feet. We are asked to find the height of the model, if the building is expected to be 200 feet tall.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem as:

$\frac{\text{Model height}}{\text{Actual height}}=\frac{\text{Model length}}{\text{Actual length}}$
