Do cross multiplication
<u>6</u> = <u>x</u>
18 12
Now cross multiply
(6)(12) = (18)(x)
72 = 18x
Divide both sides by 18
<u>72</u> = <u>18x</u>
18 18
4 = x

The standard equation of circle when center is (h,k) and radius is 'r'

h = 2 and k = - 5, radius = 16
So equation of the circle is given by


Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
<u>What we need to know:</u>
- Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0) - Parallel lines always have the same slopes
<u>1) Determine the slope (m)</u>

The given line has a slope of -2. Because parallel lines always have equal slopes, we know that the line parallel to this would also have a slope of -2. Plug this into
:

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (b)</u>

Plug in the given point (2,4) to solve for b

Add 4 to both sides to isolate b

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 8. Plug this back into
:

I hope this helps!
They are independent because they do not rely on each other.
