The rate of change is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = m x + b, where

m is the slope which represents the rate of change
b is the y-intercept which represent the initial value (value y at x = 0)

∵ y = -2x - 1

- The equation in the slope-intersect form, compare it with

the form above

∴ m = -2

∴ b = -1

∵ m represents the rate of change

∴ The rate of change is -2

∵ b represents y at x = 0

∴ The y-intercept is -1

The rate of change is -2

Does the point (-4, 2) lie inside or outside or on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25?

stiv31 [10]

Given equation of the Circle is ,

$\sf\implies x^2 + y^2 = 25$

And we need to tell that whether the point (-4,2) lies inside or outside the circle. On converting the equation into Standard form and determinimg the centre of the circle as ,

$\sf\implies (x-0)^2 +( y-0)^2 = 5 ^2$

Here we can say that ,

• Radius = 5 units

• Centre = (0,0)

Finding distance between the two points :-

$\sf\implies Distance = \sqrt{ (0+4)^2+(2-0)^2} \\\\\sf\implies Distance = \sqrt{ 16 + 4 } \\\\\sf\implies Distance =\sqrt{20}\\\\\sf\implies\red{ Distance = 4.47 }$

Here we can see that the distance of point from centre is less than the radius.

Hence the point lies within the circle .
