since we know the endpoints of the circle, we know then that distance from one to another is really the diameter, and half of that is its radius.

we can also find the midpoint of those two endpoints and we'll be landing right on the center of the circle.

Answer:

FIRST OPTION: (x+3)^2+ (y+6)^2 =2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the circle in center-radius form is:

(x- h)^2 + (y- k)^2 = r^2

Where the center is at the point (h, k) and the radius is "r".

We know that the endpoints of the diameter of this circle are (-4, -7) and (-2, -5), so we can find the radius and the center of the circle.

In order to find the radius, we need to find the diameter. To do this, we need to use the formula for calculate the distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Then, substituting the coordinates of the endpoints of the diameter into this formula, we get:

d=\sqrt{(-4-(-2))^2+(-7-(-5))^2}=2\sqrt{2}

Since the radius is half the diameter, this is:

r=\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{2}=\sqrt{2}

To find the center, given the endpoints of the diameter, we need to find the midpoint with this formula:

M=(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\frac{y_2+y_1}{2})

This is:

M=(\frac{-4-2}{2},\frac{-7-5}{2})=(-3,-6)

Then:

h=-3\\k=-6

Finally, substituting values  into  (x- h)^2 + (y- k)^2 = r^2, we get the following equation:

 (x- (-3))^2 + (y- (-6))^2 = (\sqrt{2})^2

(x+3)^2+ (y+6)^2 =2

20. 35 g of flour is used for making a muffin. Anajulie needs to prepare 700 muffins. She has 10.8 kg of flour. How much more fl
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Step-by-step explanation:

since for one muffins we need 20.35 g of flour

then for 700 muffins we need 20.35×700=14245g

14245g= 14.245kg

since she has 10.8kg then she needs extra (14.245-10.8)kg

=3.445kg

Rachel withdraws ​$18 from the bank account once each day for six days. What integer represents the change in the amount in the​
Margarita [4]

Answer:

-108

108

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is withdrawing, we are taking away -$18 every day for 6 days.

(-18)*6 = -108

Since it is deposits, we are adding to the amount in her account, +$18 for 6 days.

18*6 = 108

The difference is that one is taking away and one is adding each day, resulting in negative or positive change.
