Answer:
y=-1/4x-5 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula y-y1=m(x-x1), plug in the slope and the numbers and you'll get y=-1/4x-5 1/2.
Join the centre O to the chord (let it be MN) & let OH be the perpendicular to the chord
OH bisects MN into 2 equal parts (each one is x/2)
OMH is a right triangle with one side =8, the second leg =x/2 & the hypotenuse = 12 (Radius)
Apply Pythagoras:
12² = 8² +(x/2)² ==>144=64 + x²/4 ==> x²=4(144-64) =320
x²=320==> x=√320 =17.88 ≈17.9
You calculate an answer by multiplying each side by each other. hope this helps.
