Answer:

y=-x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug this into the equation y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope. We know that it passes through (-8,2) so y1=2 and x1=-8. We also know that the slope is -1 so we can now fill in the equation. y-2=-1(x--8). We can change x--8 to x+8 so y-2=-1(x+8). Simplify this to get y-2=-x-8. You want to isolate y so you have to add 2 on both sides. y=-x-6. Therefore, the equation is y=-x-6.

To serve 3 you half the recipe so divide each number by 2

3/4 cup/2 = 3/8 cup granulated sugar

1 cup/2 = 1/2 cup of evaporated milk

1/3teaspoon/2 = 1/6 teaspoon of vanilla

Give the equation of the circle centered at the origin and<br> passing through the point (4,0)

zimovet [89]

Answer:

x² + y² = 4²

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a circle centered at the origin and with radius r is

x² + y² = r²

Note that the point (4, 0) is 4 units horizontally and to the right of the center (0, 0). Thus, we know immediately that the radius is 4.

Thus the equation of this circle is x² + y² = 4²
