Are you asking for the expression?
If so, you plug into the format (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.
(x + 2.5)² + (y + 4.4)² = (7/4)²
Simplify to get your equation and answer:
(x + 2.5)² + (y + 4.4)² = 49/16
To answer this, you can set up a system of equations. Solve for one of the variables and substitute this new equation into the 2nd equation.
2x + 5y = 243 - I'll solve this one for x.
8x + 6y = 538
2x + 5y = 243
2x = 243 - 5y
2 2
x = 121.5 - 2.5y ; substitute this in for x in the second equation
8x + 6y = 538
8 (121.5 - 2.5y) + 6y = 538
972 - 20y + 6y = 538
972 - 14y = 538
-972 -972
-14y = -434
-14 -14
y = 31
<u><em>The cost of a rod (y) is $31. </em></u>
x = 121.5 - 2.5y
x = 121.5 - 2.5 x 31
x = 44
<em><u>The cost of a reel(x) is $44.</u></em>
