<span>A chord divides a circle into 2 segments.
A major segment and a minor segment.
If the chord passes through the center of the circle, then it divides the circle into equal segments.</span>
Ax + By = C form of the given equation is –6x + y = –28.
Solution:
Given equation is y – 2 = 6(x – 5).
To write the equation in Ax + By = C format:
y – 2 = 6(x – 5)
y – 2 = 6x – 30
Add 2 on both sides of the equation.
y – 2 + 2 = 6x – 30 + 2
y = 6x – 28
Subtract 6x from both sides of the equation.
y – 6x = 6x – 28 – 6x
y – 6x = –28
Arrange the terms in the equation.
–6x + y = –28
This is in the form of Ax + By = C.
Here A = –6, B = 1 and C = –28.
Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>What does the information want:</u>
<u>Let's gather some information</u>:
- ΔA'BC' and ΔABC are similar triangles
⇒ Angle B is shared by both triangles
⇒ Angle A' and A are the same, as they are both on parallel
lines, A'C' and AC, and both angles are formed with the
same line AB
⇒ by the <em>Angle-Angle Theorem*</em>, they are similar triangles
<u>If they are similar triangles</u>:
⇒ their side lengths are proportional to each other
⇒ let's set up a proportion
⇒ let's set up a proportion
<u>Answer:</u>
- <u>x= 17.143</u>
- <u>y = 26.25</u>
Hope that helps!
