Answer: 1/5 and -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y-intercept , we put x=0 in the equation;

y=5x -1

y = 5(0) -1

y = -1

To find th x-intercept, we put y=0 in the equation;

y=5x-1

(0) =5x-1

5x =1

Divide bothside by 5

5x/5 = 1/5

x = 1/5

The y - intercept is -1 and the

x-intercept is 1/5

X intercept y = 0
5x - 1 = 0

x = 1/5

y intercept x =0
y = - 1

The center of a cricle ids (h,7) and the radius is 10. The circle passes through (3,-1). Find all possible values of h.

Nostrana [21]

$center\ of\ a\ circle:(a;\ b)\\\\radius:r\\\\(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2\\\\========================\\\\(h;\ 7);\ r=10\\\\(x-h)^2+(y-7)^2=10^2\\\\========================$

$The\ circle\ passes\ throught\ (3;-1).\\\\Substitute\ x=3\ and\ y=-1:\\\\(3-h)^2+(-1-7)^2=100\\\\(3-h)^2+(-8)^2=100\\\\(3-h)^2+64=100\ \ \ /-64\\\\(3-h)^2=36\iff3-h=\pm\sqrt{36}\\\\3-h=-6\ or\ 3-h=6\\-h=-6-3\ or\ -h=6-3\\-h=-9\ or\ -h=3\\h=9\ or\ h=-3\\\\Answer:h=9\ or\ h=-3$
