<h3><u>Part (a)</u></h3><u />
<u>Equation of a circle</u>
where:
- (a, b) is the center
- r is the radius
Given equation:
Comparing the given equation with the general equation of a circle, the given equation is a <u>circle</u> with:
- center = (0, 0)
- radius =
To draw the circle, place the point of a compass on the origin. Make the width of the compass 2.5 units, then draw a circle about the origin.
<h3><u>Part (b)</u></h3>Given equation:
Rearrange the given equation to make y the subject:
Find two points on the line:
Plot the found points and draw a straight line through them.
The <u>points of intersection</u> of the circle and the straight line are the solutions to the equation.
To solve this algebraically, substitute into the equation of the circle to create a quadratic:
Now use the quadratic formula to solve for x:
To find the coordinates of the points of intersection, substitute the found values of x into
Therefore, the two points of intersection are:
Or as decimals to 2 d.p.:
(2.35, -0.85) and (-0.85, 2.35)
