Answer: a is 2.2, b is 0.55
Explanation:
To find the x intercept, put 0 instead of y,
hence,
0=-0.25x+0.55
-0.25x=-0.55
x=2.2
To find y intercept put 0 instead of x,
so,
y=-0.25*0+0.55
y=0+0.55
y=0.55
If the inscribed square has sides of 8in, the diameter of the circle is equal to the diagonal of the square.
d^2=x^2+x^2
d^2=2x^2
d=√(2x^2)
Since d=2r, r=d/2 so
r=(1/2)√(2x^2)
r=√((2x^2)/4)
r=√(x^2/2), since x=8
r=√(64/2)
r=√32
r=√(16*2)
r=4√2 in (exact)
r≈5.66 in (to nearest hundredth of an inch)
Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b
m is slope and b is y-intercept.
So, if you have -5x-3y=3
Make it into y=something
So, -3y=3+5x
y= -3/3 + 5/-3 x
y= -1 - 5/3 x
Same as the first one in your pic.
