Answer:

a = - 6, b = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(1) = 7 , that is f(x) = 7 when x = 1

f(3) = - 5 , that is f(x) = - 5 when x = 3

Substitute these values into f(x) = ax + b

a + b = 7 → (1)

3a + b = - 5 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate b

(3a - a) + (b - b) = - 5 - 7

2a = - 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = - 6

Substitute a = - 6 into either of the 2 equations and solve for b

Substituting into (1)

- 6 + b = 7 ( add 6 to both sides )

b = 13

Whats the center and radius of (x+3)^2+(y-5)^2=64
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Center = (-3, 5)  radius = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

                (x + 3)²  +  (y - 5)² = 64

Process

Because of the characteristics of the equation, we conclude that it is a circle.

Standard form of a circle:

              (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

In this form of the equation, the center has coordinates (h, k), just change the signs.

And to get the radius, just get the square root of r²

h = -3

k = 5

r = 8

Center = (-3, 5)

radius = 8
