General equation for a circle
(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
with (a,b) represents the center, (x,y) represents one of the points lie on the circle, and r represents the radius
Determine r² by substituting the points into the general equation
(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
(5 - (-1))² + (-4 - 2)² = r²
(5 + 1)² + (-6)² = r²
6² + 36 = r²
36 + 36 = r²
72 = r²
Determine the equation of the circle
(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
(x - (-1))² + (y - 2)² = 72
(x + 1)² + (y - 2)² = 72 (This is the equation of the circle)
The answer is 4 and 9, this is because 2*2=4 and 3*3=9, so their square roots are 2 and 3
I will solve your system by substitution.<span><span>x=<span>−2</span></span>;<span>y=<span><span><span>23</span>x</span>+3</span></span></span>Step: Solve<span>x=<span>−2</span></span>for x:Step: Substitute<span>−2</span>forxin<span><span>y=<span><span><span>23</span>x</span>+3</span></span>:</span><span>y=<span><span><span>23</span>x</span>+3</span></span><span>y=<span><span><span>23</span><span>(<span>−2</span>)</span></span>+3</span></span><span>y=<span>53</span></span>(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:<span><span>x=<span>−<span><span>2<span> and </span></span>y</span></span></span>=<span>5/3
<span>
so the answer is B (the second choice)
