Hello,

To solve this problem, you should first put in it slope intercept form.

Here are the steps:

3y + 6 = -2x Add 6 to both sides
3y = -2x - 6 Divide both sides by 3
y = (-2/3)x - 2

The you can see that the slope is (-2/3) and the y-intercept is (0, -2).

I hope this helps,

What equation represents a circle whose center is located at (-6,2) and whose radius is 10 units?

Anna [14]

One of the equations for a circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² where (h, k) are the center and r is the radius.
So after substitution:
(x + 6)² + (y - 2)² = 100

Notice the equation has the opposite of h and k and 100 is the result of squaring 10.

Determine whether line AB and line CD are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. A( 4, 2), B(-3, 1), C(6, 0), D(-10, 8)

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

<h2>neither</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If AB an CD are parallel, then their slopes are the same.

If AB and CD are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal -1.

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Calculate the both slope:

$A(4,\ 2),\ B(-3,\ 1)\\\\m_{AB}=\dfrac{1-2}{-3-4}=\dfrac{-1}{-7}=\dfrac{1}{7}\\\\C(6,\ 0),\ D(-10,\ 8)\\\\m_{CD}=\dfrac{8-0}{-10-6}=\dfrac{8}{-16}=-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=============================$
