Answer:

y=-3/2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = -4

2y=-4-3x /:2

y=-4/2-3x/2

y=-3/2x-2

Slope=-3/2(=m) , because this line is parallel slope is the same, then

y-y1=m(x-x1) ,where

A(4,-1).... x1 =4, y1 =-1

y-(-1)=-3/2(x-4)

y+1=-3/2x+3/2*4

y+1=-3/2x+6

y=-3/2x+6-1

y=-3/2x+5

The ratio of the circumference of two circles is 3:2.What is the ratio of their area

Nezavi [6.7K]

The ratio of their area is 9/4

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

We use ratios to compares values. In this exercise, we are comparing the circumference of two circles, which is:

$3:2$

and we want to know what is the ratio of their area. Recall that the circumference of a circle is given by:

$C=2\pi r \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ C:Circumference \\ \\ r:Radius \ of \ the \ circle$

If we define:

$C_{1}: \ Circumference \ of \ circle \ 1 \\ \\ C_{2}: \ Circumference \ of \ circle \ 2 \\ \\ r_{1}: \ Radius \ of \ circle \ 1 \\ \\ r_{2}: \ Radius \ of \ circle \ 2$

Then, the ratio of the circumference of two circles is 3:2 is:

$\frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}=\frac{2\pi r_{1}}{2\pi r_{2}}=\frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{3}{2}$

The area of a circle is given by:

$A=\pi r^2 \\ \\ A:Area \\ \\ r:Radius$

So the ratio of their area can be found as:

$\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{\pi r_{1}^2}{\pi r_{2}^2} \\ \\ \\ A_{1}:Area \ of \ circle \ 1 \\ \\ A_{2}:Area \ of \ circle \ 2$

So:

$\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{r_{1}^2}{r_{2}^2}=\left( \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} \right)^2 \\ \\ \frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 \\ \\ \boxed{\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{9}{4}}$
