Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: line EF

Discussion: Two lines, L1 and L2, with slopes m1 and m2 are perpendicular if

m1 * m2 = -1. In our case m1 = -1/3 so the slope of the perpendicular line is 3.

( 3 * (-1/3) = -1). The line with slope 3 is rising as x gets larger. The only line shown fitting this is line EF. Note that line AB is "falling" as x increases so it can not possibly be the answer.

Determine the standard form of the equation for the circle with center (h,k) = (-5 ½) and radius r =1

wariber [46]

Asuuing yo meant (h,k)=(-5,1/2)

equation is $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$
(h,k) is center and r=radious
given that (h,k)=(-5,1/2) and r=1
h=-5
k=1/2

$(x-(-5))^2+(y- \frac{1}{2} )^2=1^2$
$(x+5)^2+(y- \frac{1}{2} )^2=1$
if you wanted us to expand
x²+y^2+10x-y+25.25=1
