Answer:

y=1/2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture you can see that (0, -5) is a point on the function and that (2, -4) is another point. Using these you can find the slope of the function with the equation

$(y_{2} -y_{1})/(x_{2}-x_{1} )$

We can substitute in the points so it looks like

$(-4--5)/(2-0)$ or $1/2$ which is the slope of the function

Now, since the y-intercept is (0, -5) on the graph, the b part in the slope-intercept form of the equation would be -5, leaving us with the equation y=1/2x-5

The center of a circle lies on the line y = 4x + 1 and is tangent to the x-axis at (−3,0) . What is the equation of the circle i

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

$(x+3)^2+(y+11)^2=121$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a sketch of the problem as shown in the picture, where:

Blue line is given by y = 4x + 1.
Point B is the center of the circle.
Point A is (-3, 0).

Since the center of the circle lies on the line y = 4x +1 and is tangent to the x-axis at point A, then its radius BA is perpendicular to the x-axis. To find the coordinates of point B, we must replace x = -3 into the blue line equation: y = 4x(-3) + 1 = -11.

So, we know that the center of the circle is at B=(-3, -11). And furthermore, the radius BA is of length r=11.

Since the <em>general equation of the circle</em> of radius lenght r centered at (h, k) is given by

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$
