Graph a line with a slope of -3 that contains the points (4,-2)

  see below for a graph

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw a graph on a grid, locate the point (4, -2) and use the slope to find another point. One such point will be 1 to the left and up 3*, at (3, 1). With two points, you can draw the line through them to complete the graph.

For a graphing tool that requires an equation, the point-slope form of the equation can be used:

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . a line of slope m through point (h, k)

For the given slope and point, the equation of the line is ...

  y +2 = -3(x -4)

  y = -3x +10

_____

* The slope is "rise" over "run". The slope of -3 means that a run of +1 will result in a rise of -3. The given point is already below the x-axis, so we don't really want to find more points farther down. In order to go up on a line with negative slope, we must choose a point to the left of the given one.

the answer is b: 18

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem to .

a^2+b^2=c^2

plug 18 for "r"

the 2 legs are 18 and 24

18^2+24^2=c^2

324+576=c^2

900=c^2

c=30

30-12=18

18 is the radius
