Step-by-step explanation:

gradient \:  =  \:  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

y2 = y , x2 = 5

y1 = 2 , x1 = 3

- 2 \:  =  \:  \frac{y - 2}{5 - 3}

-4 = y-2 ==> y = -2

Answer:

y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

For a line containing the points (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2), the gradient/slope is equal to (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1).

Therefore for a line with gradient -2 and points (3,2) and (5,y), we can say:

-2=(y-2)/(5-3)

-2(2)=y-2

y=-4+2

y=-2

Write the equation of a circle centered at the
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

(x+4)^2+(y+6)^2=100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a circle centred at the point P(-4,-6) and passing through the point

R(2,2).

To find its equation, we follow these steps.

Step 1: Determine its radius, r using the distance formula

For point P(-4,-6) and R(2,2)

\text{Distance Formula=}\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\\text{Radius=}\sqrt{(2-(-4))^2+(2-(-6))^2} \\=\sqrt{(2+4))^2+(2+6)^2}\\=\sqrt{6^2+8^2}\\=\sqrt{100}\\Radius=10

Step 2: Determine the equation

The general form of the equation of a circle passing through point (h,k) with a radius of r is given as: (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Centre,(h,k)=P(-4,-6)

r=10

Therefore, the equation of the circle is:

(x-(-4))^2+(y-(-6))^2=10^2\\\\(x+4)^2+(y+6)^2=100

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

  • 7 people
  • 53 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells us ...

  8x = y +3

  7x = y -4

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  x = 7

Then ...

  y = 7x +4 = 7·7 +4 = 53

There are 7 people, and 53 coins are required for purchase.
