Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pi ( written as the Geek letter π) is a universal constant found by dividing the circumference of a circle by it's diameter. So if you measure the diameter of a circle you can calculate it's circumference by multiplying by π.

Circumference = π * diameter.

It's value to the nearest hundredth is 3.14 but its actual value is a decimal number that goes on without bounds. That is in Maths it is irrational and can't be written accurately as a fraction.

Answer:

Pi is a number that is approximated by 3.14, or 22/7. It is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle. This ratio can be rearranged to find circumference of a circle by multiplying pi times diameter.

Please help!!! Which equation is in point-slope form and is depicted by the line in this graph?

Blizzard [7]

Y-y1=m(x-x1)
a point on the line is (x1,y1) and the slope is m

so
slope between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
so

points (-2,3) and (3,0)
slope is (0-3)/(3-(-2))=-3/(3+2)=-3/5
a point is (3,0) Or (-2,3)

so it could be
y-0=-3/5(x-3) or y-3=-3/5(x-(-2)) which is equal to y-3=-3/5(x+2)
that's the answer
B is answer

Evaluate - 2/5- x + (-9/10) where x = 4/5.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

- 2 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

-2/5 -x -9/10

Let x = 4/5

-2/5 - 4/5 - 9/10

Combine like terms

-6/5 - 9/10

Get a common denominator of 10

-6/5 * 2/2 - 9/10

-12/10 - 9/10

-21/ 10

Change this to a mixed number

10 goes into 21 2 times with 1 left over

-2 1/10

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

1. x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(2x+3)−4x=−3

(3)(2x)+(3)(3)+−4x=−3(Distribute)

6x+9+−4x=−3

(6x+−4x)+(9)=−3(Combine Like Terms)

2x+9=−3

2x+9=−3

Step 2: Subtract 9 from both sides.

2x+9−9=−3−9

2x=−12

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

x=-6

Circles are described below by the coordinates of their centers, C, and one point on their circumference, A. Determine an equati

Art [367]

Using the given center and point at the circumference, the equation of the circles are:

a) $(x - 5)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 100$

b) $(x + 2)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 169$

c) $(x - 5)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 65$

<h3>What is the equation of a circle?</h3>

The equation of a circle of radius r and center $(x_0,y_0)$ is given by:

$(x - x_0)^2 + (y - y_0)^2 = r^2$

Item a:

Center C(5,2), hence $x_0 = 5, y_0 = 2$ .

The point at the circumference is A(11,10), hence:

$(x - 5)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = r^2$

$(11 - 5)^2 + (10 - 2)^2 = r^2$

$r^2 = 100$

Hence:

$(x - 5)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 100$

Item b:

Center C(-2,-5), hence $x_0 = -2, y_0 = -5$ .

The point at the circumference is A(3,-17), hence:

$(x + 2)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = r^2$

$(3 + 2)^2 + (-17 - 5)^2 = r^2$

$r^2 = 169$

Hence:

$(x + 2)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 169$

Item c:

Center C(5,-1), hence $x_0 = 5, y_0 = -1$ .

The point at the circumference is A(-2,-5), hence:

$(x - 5)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = r^2$

$(-2 - 5)^2 + (-5 + 1)^2 = r^2$

$r^2 = 65$

Hence:

$(x - 5)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 65$
