I think the answer is 25.5. Although, I don't know how you would have half a bike unless there was a 3 wheel bike which would make the answer 24.
Three possible answers are:
y = 2x-1
y = 5x-1
y = -3x-1
All of them have the same y intercept of -1. The slopes are the only thing that differ.
Any linear equation can be written in the form y = mx+b where
m = slope
b = y intercept
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The center lies on the vertical line x = -5 and the the circle is tangent to (touches in one place only) the y-axis. Thus, the radius is 5.
2) Starting with (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 and comparing this to the given
(x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 6^2
we see that h = 4, k = -3 and r = 6. The center is at (4, -3) and the radius is 6.
3) Notice that A and B have the same x-coordinate, x = 15. The center of the circle is thus (15, -2), where that -2 is the halfway point between the two given points in the vertical direction. Arbitrarily choose A(15, 4) as one point on the circle. Then the equation of this circle is
(x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = r^2 = 6^2, where the 6 is one half of the vertical distance between A(15, 4) and B(15, -8) (which is 12).
This would be SAS. If that’s wrong I’m sorry but it’s the only thing that makes sense, the dashes indicate they are the same and then the circle at the point also indicates that they’re the same so you have two sides and one angle that are the same, so it should be SAS.
