A diameter of a circle has endpoints p(-10,-2) and Q(4,6)

Answer:

a. (-3,2)

b. sqrt65

c.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To find the center of the circle, you can think of it just like finding the midpoint between the two endpoints. To find a midpoint between two endpoints, you take the average of the x values to get the x coordinate, and you take the average of the y values to get the y coordinate of the midpoint. Therefore, if (-10, -2) is (x1, y1) and (4, 6) is (x2, y2), the midpoint/center of the circle would be:

( (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2 ). When you plug in our x and y values, you get (-3, 2).

b. To find the radius of a circle, you need to know the center/midpoint of the circle which we solved for in part a. The formula for finding the radius of a circle with the center is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 for (h, k) as the center. The coordinates of the center that we found earlier for this circle are (-3, 2). With that, we just plug in our numbers into the formula, and we get:

(x+3)^2 + (y-2)^2 = r^2. Now, to get r, we can choose one of the original two endpoints given and plug in the x and y coordinates from that point into this equation. I like (4, 6), so I'm going to plug in 4 for x and 6 for y, and so we get (4+3)^2 + (6-2)^2 = r^2 which equals 49 + 16 = r^2 when simplified. 49 plus 16 is equal to 65, so we get 65 = r^2. To finally get r, we square root both sides of the equation to get r =  sqrt65 which is already in the simplest radical form.

c. The circle equation is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, like I said in part b. Therefore, we already have our circle equation! We just plug in our center points and we get (x+3)^2 + (y-2)^2 = sqrt65. This is usually an equation a question will give you for a circle, and with this information, they will expect you to find the center (h, k) or the circle and it's radius, r.

Which equation represents the line that passes through (–6, 7) and (–3, 6)?
ipn [44]

Answer:

y = \frac{-x}{3} + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A (x₁, y₁) = ( -6, 7) and B (x₂, y₂) = (-3, 6)

Slope of line passing through points ( -6, 7) and  (-3, 6) is:

m = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1}} =\frac{6 - 7}{-3 + 6} =\frac{-1}{3}

Now, the equation of line in point-slope form:

(y - y₁) = m (x - x₁)

Substituting the value of m and  (x₁, y₁) = ( -6, 7) in above equation,

(y - 7) = \frac{-1}{3}(x - (-6))

(y - 7) = \frac{-1}{3}(x + 6)

3y - 21 = -x - 6

3y = -x - 6 + 21

3y = -x + 15

y = \frac{-x + 15}{3}

y = \frac{-x}{3} + 5

Option B is the correct answer.

From the set {5, 15, 20}, use substitution to determine which value of x makes the inequality true. x + 10 >25 A . 20 B. 5 C.
Margarita [4]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x=5

5 + 10 is less than 25.

If x=15

15+10 is equal to 25

If x =20

20+10 is greater than 25
