Consider the line y=4x-4.
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
- parallel: y = 4x -6
- perpendicular: y = -1/4x +27/4
Step-by-step explanation:
If we want the new line to be written in slope-intercept form, we need to find the new value of the y-intercept. The equation of the line is ...
y = mx +b . . . . . . . for slope m and y-intercept b
Solving for b gives ...
b = y -mx . . . . . . . subtract mx from both sides.
The values of x and y come from the point we want the line to pass through. The value of m will be the same for the parallel line as for the given line: 4. For the perpendicular line, it will be the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/4.
<u>Parallel line</u>
b = 6 -4(3) = 6 -12 = -6
y = 4x -6
Perpendicular line
b = 6 -(-1/4)(3) = 6 +3/4 = 27/4
y = -1/4x +27/4

The equation of circle is:
(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2 where C(a, b) is the center.
In order to find r you have to find the distance between C(-2, 1) and let's say A(-4, 1)
The formula for distance is:
r = 2
The equation of circle is
(x+2)^2+(y-1)^2=4
