<h3>Answer:   -13</h3>

=======================================

Explanation:

g(-3) = 2 means x = -3 and y = 2 pair up together to form the point (-3,2)

g(1) = -4 means we have the point (1,-4)

Find the slope of the line through the two points (-3,2) and (1,-4)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-4-2)/(1-(-3))

m = (-4-2)/(1+3)

m = -6/4

m = -3/2

m = -1.5

The general slope intercept form y = mx+b turns into y = -1.5x+b after replacing m with -1.5

Plug in (x,y) = (-3,2) which is one of the points mentioned earlier and we end up with this new equation:  2 = -1.5*(-3) + b

Let's solve for b

2 = -1.5*(-3)+b

2 = 4.5 + b

2-4.5 = 4.5+b-4.5 .... subtract 4.5 from both sides

-2.5 = b

b = -2.5

Therefore, y = mx+b becomes y = -1.5x-2.5 meaning the g(x) function is g(x) = -1.5x-2.5

The last step is to plug in x = 7 and compute

g(x) = -1.5*x - 2.5

g(7) = -1.5*7 - 2.5

g(7) = -10.5 - 2.5

g(7) = -13

A diameter of a circle has enpoints (-2, 10) and (6, -4) in the standard (x, y) coordinate plane. What is the center of the circ
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The center of the circle is C(x,y) = (2, 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of the circle is the midpoint of the segment between the endpoints. We can determine the location of the center by this vectorial expression:

C(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot R_{1}(x,y)+ \frac{1}{2}\cdot R_{2}(x,y) (1)

Where:

C(x,y) - Center.

R_{1} (x,y), R_{2} (x,y) - Location of the endpoints.

If we know that R_{1} (x,y) = (-2,10) and R_{2} (x,y) = (6,-4), then the location of the center of the circle is:

C(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (-2,10)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (6,-4)

C(x,y) = (-1, 5) + (3, -2)

C(x,y) = (2, 3)

The center of the circle is C(x,y) = (2, 3).
