The first thing I would probably do is distribute (multiply) the -5/2 into the parenthesis:
= (-5/2)x + (-20/2)
Notice how I am not putting the x into the fraction. This is to make it easier to see the slope-intercept form.
Lets simplify the (-20/2) and then add 7 to both sides:
y - 7 = (-5/2)x - 10
y = (-5/2)x - 3
Your answer would then be:
y = (-5/2)x - 3
y = mx + b
Since it is now in the requested format.
I’m not sure never took that test
Ik that 9 is one of em
Hope this helps have a nice nite
Answer:
and

Step-by-step explanation:
The standard equation of a circle is
where the coordinate (h,k) is the center of the circle.
Second Problem:
- We can start with the second problem which uses this info very easily.
- (h,k) in this problem is (-2,15) simply plug these into the equation.
. - We can also add the radius 3 and square it so it becomes 9. The equation.
- This simplifies to
.
First Problem:
- The first problem takes a different approach it is not in standard form. But we can convert it to standard form by completing the square.
first subtract 37 from both sides so the equation is now
.
by adding
to both the x and y portions of this equation you can complete the squares.
and
which equals 49 and 4.- Add 49 and 4 to both sides and the equation is now:
You can simplify the y and x portions of the equations into the perfect squares or factored form
and
. - Finally put the whole thing together.
.
I hope this helps!
