The general equation given is x^2 - 4x + y^2 = -3. Transform this to an equation of a circle of the form x^2 + y^2 = r^2.
Use completing the square method:
x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 = -3 + 4
(x - 2)^2 + y^2 = 1
the center of the circle is (2,0) and r = 1
To check if it intersects the y axis, find the value of the x-intercept.
Answer:
<u>Linear</u>
y=-x


<u>Non linear</u>



Step-by-step explanation:
Linear equations have the highest degree to be 1.
Therefore y=-x is linear.


The degree of this equation is 2.
It is non-linear

is also linear.


It would be B. 28 square yards
