Simplify. 5 - 2(x - 3)

1 answer:

3 0

To solve this, we simply need to remember our rules about order of operations. They tell us that first, we should distribute the 2 with the rest of the parentheses.

5-2(x-3)
5-2x+6

Next, we should combine our like-terms.

5-2x+6
11-2x

Seeing as we do not know the value of the variable, the simplest form of the expression is 11-2x.

Using the equation y=kx and the table below, find the constant of proportionality (k).

elena-s [515]

Answer:

k = 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find k, use the equation

y = kx

Pick a point

72 = k *32

Divide each side by 32

72/32 = k

9/4 = k

Write the equation of a circle for which the endpoints of a diameter are (-2,-2) and (4,-10)

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Therefore the required Equation of Circle

$x^{2}+y^{2}-2x+12y+12=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

End point of Diameter be

point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -2 ,-2 )

point B( x₂ , y₂) ≡ ( 4 , -10 )

To Find:

Equation of a circle =?

Solution:

When end points of the Diameter are A( x₁ , y₁) , B( x₂ , y₂). then the Equation of Circle is given as

$(x-x_{1})(x-x_{2})+(y-y_{1})(y-y_{2})=0$

Substituting the end point are

$(x-(-2))(x-4)+(y-(-2))(y-(-10))=0\\(x+2))(x-4)+(y+2))(y+10))=0\\$

Applying Distributive Property we get

$x^{2} -2x-8+y^{2}+12y+20 =0\\\\x^{2}+y^{2}-2x+12y+12=0$

Therefore the required Equation of Circle

$x^{2}+y^{2}-2x+12y+12=0$
