Selections B and D both appear to be appropriate.
B) (x+8)² + (y+5)² = 13
D) (x+8)² + (y+5)² = 13
_____
The center is at the midpoint of the diameter, ((-10-6)/2, (-8-2)/2) = (-8, -5). For center (h, k) and radius r, the equation is
(x -h)² +(y -k)² = r²
(x -(-8))² +(y -(-5))² = (√13)²
(x+8)² + (y+5)² = 13
If 39 = (1 3/10)b, we could simplify this by writing 39 - (13/10)b.
Solve this for b by mult. both terms by (10/13):
(10*39)
----------- = (10/13)(13/10)b. Then b = 30 (answer)
13
If you graph this, your first point will be at (0,5), as the ramp is at the warehouse door but 5 feet up. The second point is (10,0) as it is touching the ground but it's 10 feet away from the warehouse.
To find slope, you do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
When substituting in the variables, you get (0-5)/(10-0), which is -5/10, which is simplified to -1/2. Of course, that is when the warehouse is Quadrant II. If you look at it from another point of view, the slope will be positive so your answer is A) 1/2.
