1) Find the graph of a line passing through (-1, 4) and (2, 0).
The slope of two points can be determined by dividing the difference of y-values by the difference of x-values:
The slope of this equation is -4/3. Inputting this into the slope-intercept form of an equation, we get:
To find b, substitute x and y for one of the given coordinate pairs:
0 = (-4/3)(2) + b
0 = -8/3 + b
8/3 = b
Substitute the b value into the equation to finish the line:
Answer:
Center: (4,8)
Radius: 2.5
Equation:
Step-by-step explanation:
It was given that; the endpoints of the longest chord on a circle are (4, 5.5) and (4, 10.5).
Note that the longest chord is the diameter;
The midpoint of the ends of the diameter gives us the center;
Use the midpoint formula;
The center is at;
To find the radius, use the distance formula to find the distance from the center to one of the endpoints.
The distance formula is;
The equation of the circle in standard form is given by;
We substitute the center and the radius into the formula to get;
