x y
------ -----
-9 -2
-5 -7
-1 -12
3 -17
ur x's all have a difference of 4, and ur y's all have a difference of -5...so yes, this is linear with a slope of (-7+2) / (-5 + 9) = -5/4
Y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 6/7
(-9,6)....x1 = -9 and y1 = 6
now we sub...pay close attention to ur signs
y - 6 = 6/7(x - (-9)....not done yet
y - 6 = 6/7(x + 9) <===
Answer : AB and DE are the secants
Explanation: Because they both intersect the circle in exactly 2 points
I am not sure if you have any choices. Here are some options:
0.17333333333
This is also notated by .1733 with a line over the top of the two 3's indicating that these number continue repeating.
Other choices depending on your instructions...
.173 (if rounded to thousanths)
.17 (if rounded to hundreths)
.2 (if rounded to tenths)
You would use the distance formula
Hope this helped
