<span>The slope of the line is equal to (y - 7) / (x - 4)
Then we can set up this equation:
(y - 7) / (x - 4) = 3
y - 7 = 3 * (x - 4)
y - 7 = 3x - 12
y = 3x - 5
This is the equation of the line.</span>

A group of biologists found a total of 15 loggerhead turtle nests along a beach during a certain season. This was 20% of the tot

Andre45 [30]

20% also equals 1/5, right?

So in order to find the total number of turtle nests, just find 5/5, or multiply 15 by 5.

15 x 5 = 75

There were 75 total nests

The center of a circle lies on the line y = 4x + 1 and is tangent to the x-axis at (−3,0) . What is the equation of the circle i

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

$(x+3)^2+(y+11)^2=121$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a sketch of the problem as shown in the picture, where:

Blue line is given by y = 4x + 1.
Point B is the center of the circle.
Point A is (-3, 0).

Since the center of the circle lies on the line y = 4x +1 and is tangent to the x-axis at point A, then its radius BA is perpendicular to the x-axis. To find the coordinates of point B, we must replace x = -3 into the blue line equation: y = 4x(-3) + 1 = -11.

So, we know that the center of the circle is at B=(-3, -11). And furthermore, the radius BA is of length r=11.

Since the <em>general equation of the circle</em> of radius lenght r centered at (h, k) is given by

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

then with h = -3, k = -11 and r= 11, the equation of our circle is

$(x+3)^2+(y+11)^2=121$
