So, since we know the coordinates for the diameter segment, let's see how long it is, recall that the radius is half of the diameter, thus

\bf 
~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&&(~ -8 &,& -6~) 
%  (c,d)
&&(~ -4 &,& -14~)
\end{array}\\\\\\
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{[-4-(-8)]^2+[-14-(-6)]^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(-4+8)^2+(-14+6)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{4^2+(-8)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{80}\qquad \textit{therefore the radius is }\qquad r=\cfrac{\sqrt{80}}{2}

now, since the diameter goes through the center of the circle, the midpoint of it, will be the center of the circle then,

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points }
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&&(~ -8 &,& -6~) 
%  (c,d)
&&(~ -4 &,& -14~)
\end{array}~~ %   coordinates of midpoint 
\left(\cfrac{ x_2 +  x_1}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{ y_2 +  y_1}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-4-8}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-14-6}{2} \right)\implies (-6~,~-10)

and since we know the coordinates for the center and the radius, let's plug those two in

\bf \textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ 
(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2
\qquad 
center~~(\stackrel{-6}{ h},\stackrel{-10}{ k})\qquad \qquad 
radius=\stackrel{\frac{\sqrt{80}}{2}}{ r}
\\\\\\\
[x-(-6)]^2+[y-(-10)]^2=\left( \frac{\sqrt{80}}{2} \right)^2
\\\\\\
(x+6)^2+(y+10)^2=\cfrac{(\sqrt{80})^2}{2^2}\implies (x+6)^2+(y+10)^2=\cfrac{80}{4}
\\\\\\
(x+6)^2+(y+10)^2=20

What is the area of this triangle ?
oee [108]

Answer:

Area of triangle is 9.88 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the area of triangle

Given E(5,1), F(0,4), D(0,8)

We will use formula:

Area\,\,of\,\,triangle =\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)s-c)} \\where\,\, s = \frac{a+b+c}{2}

We need to find the lengths of side DE, EF and FD

Length of side DE = a = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}

Length of side DE = a = =\sqrt{(5-0)^2+(1-8)^2}\\=\sqrt{(5)^2+(-7)^2}\\=\sqrt{25+49}\\=\sqrt{74}\\=8.60

Length of side EF = b = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}

Length of side EF = b = =\sqrt{(0-5)^2+(4-1)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(3)^2}\\=\sqrt{25+9}\\=\sqrt{34}\\=5.8

Length of side FD = c = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}

Length of side FD = c = =\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(8-4)^2}\\=\sqrt{(0)^2+(4)^2}\\=\sqrt{0+16}\\=\sqrt{16}\\=4

so, a= 8.60, b= 5.8 and c = 4

s = a+b+c/2

s= 8.6+5.8+4/2

s= 9.2

Area of triangle==\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)s-c)}\\=\sqrt{9.2(9.2-8.6)(9.2-5.8)(9.2-4)}\\=\sqrt{9.2(0.6)(3.4)(5.2)}\\=\sqrt{97.5936}\\=9.88

So, area of triangle is 9.88 units^2

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (−2, −3) with a slope of −6.
Daniel [21]
Y=mx+b where m=-6, x=-2, and y=-3. Substituting these values in would result in -3=(-6)(-2)+b, which would simplify to -3=12+b, and further to b=-15. This would mean the y intercept is equal to -15, or (0,-15). To check, (-6)*(-2)-15 is in fact equal to -3, thus allowing easy identification of a graph, which will cross the y axis at -15 and decrease in y-value by 6 with every increase in x-value.
