_____
If you would rather, you can look at the value of the discriminant. For the equation y = ax²+bx+c, the discriminant (d) is
d = b²-4ac
For your equation, this evaluates to
d = (-8)²-4(2)(5) = 64 -40 = 24
When the discriminant is positive, the function has two real roots (2 x-intercepts). When it is zero, there is only one x-intercept, and when it is negative, there are none (the roots are complex).

Answer:
The value of radius is 7.5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a line that pass through the origin and form a triangle is a right-angle triangle. So in order to find the diameter/hypotenuse, you have to use Pythogaras Theorem :
Let a = 12 units,
Let b = 9 units,
Let c = hypo.,
We have found out that the hypotenuse of the triangle is the diameter of circle. So in order to find radius, you have to divide it by 2 :
