Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
Find slope:
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
= (-5 - (-4)) / (0 - 4)
= -1 / -4
= 1/4
Find y intercept using anyone of the given points and slope from above:
y = mx + b
b = -5
Now use the above slope and y intercept to create equation of a line:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for a circle of radius r centered at (h, k) is ...
(x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2
Both of the given points are on the line y=-1. The distance between them is the difference of their x-coordinates, 2 -(-2) = 4. So, the radius of the circle is 4 and the equation becomes ...
(x -2)^2 +(y -(-1))^2 = 4^2
(x -2)^2 +(y +1)^2 = 16 . . . . . . . . . matches choice A
