Answer:

y=-2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since our equation is in standard form Ax+By=C we must first manipulate the equation so that we have it in the slope-intercept form such that y=mx+b.  Therefore:

-x+2y=4\\2y=x+4\\\\y=\frac{x+4}{2}\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+2

Therefore, our slope is 1/2 and our y-intercept is 2.  Now in order to determine a perpendicular line to the one stated above we must then get the negative inverse of our slope meaning \frac{1}{2}=-2 (negative reciprocal).  Now we must use the point slope formula:

y=m(x-x_1)+y_1

Where m is the slope, x1 is -2 and y1 is 1 (because of the ordered pair given). And so:

y=-2(x-(-2))+1\\\\y=-2(x+2)+1\\\\y=-2x-4+1\\\\y=-2x-3

Therefore, the line that is perpendicular to -x+2y=4 is y=-2x-3.

Find the radius of the circle if the center is at (1, 2) and the point (-3, 4) lies on the circle.
Anton [14]

Answer:

2√5

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is the distance from the center to a point anywhere along the edge of the circle. To find the distance between these two points, use the distance formula.

d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2} \\d = \sqrt{(1--3)^2 + (2-4)^2}\\ d = \sqrt{4^2 + -2^2}\\ d = \sqrt{16 + 4}\\ d = \sqrt{20} \\d = 2\sqrt{5}
