If the endpoints of a diameter are (6,3) and (2,1) the midpoint is the center of the circle so:
(x,y)=((6+2)/2, (3+1)/2)=(4,2)
Now we need to find the radius....the diameter is:
d^2=(6-2)^2+(3-1)^2
d^2=16+4
d^2=20 since d=2r, r=d/2, and r^2=d^2/4 so
r^2=5
The standard form of the circle is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 and we know:
(h,k)=(4,2) from earlier so:
(x-4)^2+(y-2)^2=5
PLEASE. MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST ANSWER.
B.
This is because perpendicular lines have opposite and flipped slopes.
We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
-85 -85
_______________________
x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204
+34x +34x
_______________________
x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2 -x^2
____________________
34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
x = 6.
The number is 6.
