Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

a/4=2/3

Multiply each side by 4

a/4 *4=2/3 *4

a = 8/3

(a-4)/4

(8/3 - 4) /4

Getting a common denominator

(8/4 - 12/3) /4

(-4/3)/4

-1/3

What is the equation of the circle that has a center at (-3, 1) and a radius of 5? A) (x + 3)2 + (y - 1)2 = 5 B) (x - 3)2 + (y +

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of the equation of a circle is $(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2$ where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius. This means that for the circle with center (-3,1) and radius 5 substitute into the vertex form these values. Substitute h = -3, k= 1, and r = 5. The equation becomes $(x--3)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 5^2$ . This simplifies to $(x+3)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 25$ . The solution is C.
