Answer:

The answer is the option B

The circumcenter of triangle ABC is the point (3,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumcenter of a triangle, is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle meets

In this problem we have the coordinates of the triangle ABC

A(1,6) ,B(1,4),C(5,4)

Step 1

Find the slope of the side AB

The side AB is a vertical side (parallel to the y-axis)

The slope of the side AB is undefined

we know that

The perpendicular line to the side AB will be a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis)

The equation of the perpendicular bisector to the side AB will be the y-coordinate of the midpoint AB

Step 2

Find the y-coordinate of midpoint AB

we know that

The formula to calculate the y-coordinate of the midpoint between two points is equal to

y=\frac{y1+y2}{2}

we have

A(1,6) ,B(1,4)

Substitute the values

y=\frac{6+4}{2}=5

therefore

The equation of the perpendicular bisector to the side AB is

y=5 ------> equation A

Step 3

Find the slope of the side BC

The side BC is a horizontal side (parallel to the x-axis)

The slope of the side BC is zero

we know that

The perpendicular line to the side BC will be a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

The equation of the perpendicular bisector to the side BC will be the x-coordinate of the midpoint BC

Step 4

Find the x-coordinate of midpoint BC

we know that

The formula to calculate the x-coordinate of the midpoint between two points is equal to

x=\frac{x1+x2}{2}

we have

B(1,4),C(5,4)

Substitute the values

x=\frac{1+5}{2}=3

therefore

The equation of the perpendicular bisector to the side BC is

x=3 ------> equation B

Step 5

Find the circumcenter of triangle ABC

To calculate the circumcenter

Solve the system of equations compound by equation A and equation B

y=5 ------> equation A

x=3 ------> equation B

The intersection point is (3,5) -------> the circumcenter of triangle ABC

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

What is the slope of the line threw (-9,6) and (-3, 9)
DerKrebs [107]

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2 - x1)


Slope = (9 - 6)/(-3- (-9)) = 3/6 = 1/2

Write an equation of the line in slope intercept form that goes through the points (-1,2) and (4,12) Show your work!
NemiM [27]
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To find b, you first need to calculate slope and see where the line intersects the y-axis.
To get m (slope), use the form y1 - y2/x1 - x2. It would look like this:
2 - 12/-1 - 4. This simplifies to:
-10/-5, which further simplifies to 2. Now, graph the points to find y....
My graph shows that the line intersects at (0, 4), so slope-intercept form would look like:
y = 2x + 4 (remember, 2 is the slope and 4 is the y-intercept)

Hope this helps.

3.<br> Write the<br> equation.<br> Slope:<br> riset<br> Run<br> y intercept:<br> equation: y=mx+b;
larisa [96]

Answer:  y = 1/4 x – 4

OR y = x/4 –4

m is the slope. b is the y-intercept.

Without numbers on the x and y axis, it may not be correct. But assuming a normal scale, the slope is positive 1/4 and the y-intercept is -4

Step-by-step explanation: To find the slope, m, determine  "rise over run"

Look for places where the graphed line crosses the grid at intersections. There seems to be such places at (–4,–5), (0,–4) and (4,–3)

The "rise" is the difference in y-values. Here, they increase by 1.

The "run" is the difference in x-values. Here they increase by 4.

So the slope is 1/4. Put that in place of m.

The graphed line crosses the y-axis at –4

That is the y-intercept.  Use -4 in the place of  b

Keep the y and x; substitute the values for m and b we found.

y = 1/4 x – 4

OR

y = x/4 – 4  This makes it clear that x is not in the denominator of the fraction, 1/4, and in calculations with given coordinates, the value of x will be divided by 4.
