Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points are given : $(x_1,y_1)(x_2,y_2)$ :(-5.5, 6.1), (-2.5, 3.1)

Slope from the two point is determined by the formula :

$slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$slope=\frac{3.1-(6.1)}{(-2.5)-(-5.5)}=\frac{3.0}{-3.0}=-1$

The slope of the line that passes through the pair of points is -1.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Find the center and radius of the circle whose diameter has an endpoint at (-3, -4) and the origin.

Zina [86]

Given end points of diameter,

(x1,y1)=(-3,-4)

(x2,y2)=(0,0)

Now,

the equation of circle is,

(x-x1)(x-x2)+(y-y1)(y-y2)=0

or, (x+3)(x-0)+(y+4)(y-0)=0

or, x^2 +3x +y^2 +4y =0

or, x^2 +y^2 +3x + 4y=0

which is in the form of x^2 +y^2 +2gx +2fy + c=0

where,

g=3/2

h=2

c=0

Now,

$radius(r) = \sqrt{ {g}^{2} + {f}^{2} - c } \\ = \sqrt{ \frac{ {3}^{2} }{ {2}^{2} } + {2}^{2} - 0 } \\ = \sqrt{ \frac{9}{4} + 4} \\ = \sqrt{ \frac{25}{4} } \\ = \frac{5}{2}$

which description best describes the solution to the following system of equations y= -2x +3 y= -x + 1

marin [14]

For this case we have the following system of equations:
$y = -2x +3

y = -x + 1$
Equating the values of y we have:
$-2x +3 = -x + 1
$
From here, we can clear the value of x.
We have then:
$-2x + x = 1 - 3

-x = -2

x = 2$
Then, we look for the value of y.
For this, we substitute x in any of the equations:
$y = -x + 1

y = -2 + 1

y = -1$
Answer:
The ordered pair solution of the system of equations, is given by:
$(x, y) = (2, -1)$
