@snowflake0531

snowflake0531:

Remembering the form \((x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\) where the center coordinate is (h,k), can you tell me the center coordinates of the two circles?

Mathplayer223:

im not sure how to find it

snowflake0531:

Can you tell me what the h and k's are? Just flip the sign of the numbers after x and y

Mathplayer223:

h and k is the center?

snowflake0531:

yes, but I want the numbers of h and k

Mathplayer223:

5,4 and 3,5

snowflake0531:

which ones have the negative sign?

Mathplayer223:

5 and 5

snowflake0531:

wrong flip all of the signs, positive becomes negative, the negative becomes positive, because we are not adding x and y to h and k, we are subtracting

Mathplayer223:

4 and 3

snowflake0531:

Yes the coordinates are (5,-4) and (-3,5) now you just need to find the equation of a line that goes through these two points first find the slope, then the y intercept do you know how to do that?

Mathplayer223:

yes i think

snowflake0531:

alright, tell me when you get the answer

Mathplayer223:

-9/8

snowflake0531:

yes, that is the slope

snowflake0531:

how about the y intercept?

Mathplayer223:

is it y=mx+b

snowflake0531:

yes

Mathplayer223:

y=-9/8x+13/8

snowflake0531:

yes, good job

Mathplayer223:

thats the answer?

snowflake0531:

well, there are three ways to write a linear equation standard form is ax + by =c if you want to convert it to that, go ahead but your equation will probably work

Mathplayer223:

let me see

Mathplayer223:

snowflake0531:

then convert it to standard form then i guess

Mathplayer223:

9x+8y=13?

Mathplayer223:

snowflake

snowflake0531:

yeah

Mathplayer223:

it worked thanks
