Answer:

$x = -5 \pm \sqrt{26}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+10x-1=0\\\\\implies x^2+2\cdot 5 x +5^2-5^2-1=0\\\\\implies (x+5)^2-25-1=0\\\\\implies (x+5)^2 -26=0\\\\\implies (x+5)^2 = 26\\\\\implies x +5 = \pm\sqrt{26}\\\\\implies x = -5 \pm \sqrt{26}$

Pls help, easy geometry question

Lemur [1.5K]

x^2 + y^2 + 2x - 6y + 1 = 0

x^2 +2x + 1 + y^2 - 6y = 0

x^2 + 2( x × 1) + 1^2 + y^2 - 2(y×3) + 3^2 -3^2 =0

(x+1)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 3^2

comparing with circle equation

(x-a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2

where (a , b) is centre of circle.

so we get center of circle is

(-1, 3)

A city planner wants to build a road parallel to 2nd Ave . What is the slope of the new road?

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By inspection or finding points, we see that 2nd ave is perfectly flat, or in other words, has slope of 0.

If line 1 is parallel to line 2, it means their slopes are the same.

So, the new road parallel to 2nd ave has a slope of $\boxed{0}$ .
