Answer:

The ordered pair (-2,\, -4) is indeed a solution to the system:

\left\lbrace\begin{aligned} & y = \frac{1}{2}\, x - 3 \\ & y = -2\, x - 8\end{aligned}\right..

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a system of equations about variables x and y. An ordered pair (x_{0},\, y_{0}) (where x_{0} and y_{0} are constant) is a solution to that system if and only if all equations in that system hold after substituting in x = x_{0} and y = y_{0}.

For the system in this question, (-2,\, -4) would be a solution only if both equations in the system hold after replacing all x in equations of the system with (-2) and all y with (-4).

The \texttt{LHS} of the equation y = (1/2)\, x - 3 would become (-4). The \texttt{RHS} of that equation would become (1/2) \, (-2) - 3. The two sides are indeed equal.

Similarly, the \texttt{LHS} of the equation y = -2\, x - 8 would become (-4). The \texttt{RHS} of that equation would become (-2)\, (-2) - 8. The two sides are indeed equal.

Thus, x = (-2) and y = (-4) simultaneously satisfy both equations of the given system. Therefore, the ordered pair (-2,\, -4) would indeed be a solution to that system.

Help me please
deff fn [24]

Answer:

(x-1)^2 + y^2 = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

center C ( ( xA + xB)/2 , (yA+yB)/2 ) = ( 1 , 0)

AB = 10

radius = AB / 2 = 5

equation formula: (x - xC)^2 + (y-yC)^2 = radius^2

Hence:

(x-1)^2 + y^2 = 25
