<h3><u>answer</u><u>:</u></h3>

<em>x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-4</em>

<h3><em>steps</em><em>:</em></h3>

Let the number = x (set up an equation)

2x = -3x - 20

add 3x to both sides

5x = -20

divide by 5 on both sides

<u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-4</u>

Two lines are perpendicular if their slope m and m' satisfy the equation

mm'=-1

The slope of the given line is 4, because the line is written in the slope-intercept y=mx+q, where m is the slope.

So, the perpendicular slope is

4m'=-1 \iff m'=-\dfrac{1}{4}

So, we want a line with slope -1/4 and passing through (-1,3). We can use the formula

y-b=m(x-a)

for the line passing trough (a,b) with slope m:

y-3=-\dfrac{1}{4}(x+1) \iff y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x-\dfrac{1}{4}+3\iff y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{11}{4}

I need help.. A diameter of a circle has endpoints p(-10, -2) and q(4, 6)
Phoenix [80]

A: The center is the mid point of the diameter. So, the center of the circle will be the midpoint of points P and Q. The coordinates of the midpoint are the averaged coordinates of the endpoints.

So, the x-cooardinate of the center is the average of the x-coordinates of P and Q:

C_x = \dfrac{P_x+Q_x}{2}=\dfrac{-10+4}{2}=\dfrac{-6}{2}=-3

Try to do the same thing with the y coordinates, and you'll get the y-coordinate C_y. This first part will be over, because the circle will be point

C=(C_x,C_y)

B: The radius is exactly half the diameter. So, we find the length of the diameter, and we divide it by 2. To find the length of the diameter, we use the standard formula for the distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(P_x-Q_x)^2+(P_y-Q_y)^2}=\sqrt{(-10-4)^2+(-2-6)^2}=\sqrt{260}=2\sqrt{65}

Divide this length by 2 and you'll get the radius.

C: At this point, we have both the radius and the coordinates of the center. The equation of the circle depends on these two parameters, and it is

(x-C_x)^2+(y-C_y)^2=r^2

Substitute C_x and C_y with the coordinates of the center (found in point A.) and r with the radius (found in point B.) and you'll have the equation of the circle.
