The answer to your question is B.-2/3

we have

$2x+3y=-12$

Isolate variable y

$2x+3y=-12$

Subtract $2x$ both sides

$3y=-2x-12$

Divide by $3$ both sides

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x-4$

the slope m is equal to

$m=-\frac{2}{3}$

therefore

the answer is the option B

$-\frac{2}{3}$

Which equation represents the circle described?

bazaltina [42]

We have the equation:

$x^2+y^2-8x-6y+24=0$

By arranging this equation in terms of x and y, we have:

$x^2-8x+y^2-6y=-24 \\ \\$

By using the method of completing the square, we have:

$x^2-8x+\mathbf{\left(\frac{8}{2}\right)^2}+y^2-6y+\mathbf{\left(\frac{6}{2}\right)^2}=-24+\mathbf{\left(\frac{8}{2}\right)^2}+\mathbf{\left(\frac{6}{2}\right)^2} \\ \\ x^2-8x+\mathbf{16}+y^2-6y+\mathbf{9}=-24+\mathbf{16}+\mathbf{9} \\ \\ \boxed{(x-4)^2+(x-3)^2=1}$
