Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
All u need to do is graph the points so for -4,5 go 4 left then go up
Well 1 pound equals 0.0005 tons. So you have to do 7,000/ 0.0005 which is 3.5. So 7,000 pounds equals 3.5 tons.
We know that:
is an equation of a circle.
When we substitute x and y (from the pairs we have), we'll get a system of equations:
and all we have to do is solve it for a, b and r.
There will be:
From equations (II) and (III) we have:
and from (I) and (II):
Now we can easly calculate a and b:
Finally we calculate
:
And the equation of the circle is:
