I dont't know if that is the right category but here is the question.
Determine the equation of the line whose y-intercept
is the radius of the circle with equation x^2+y^2=25 and whose x-intercept is the length of the line segment joining the points N(-3,-4) & L(3,4).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

The radius of the circle is 5 units.
The length of the line segment joining the points N(-3,-4) & L(3,4) is 10 units (it is twice the hypotenuse of the 3-4-5 triangle).

So, you need to find the equation of the line whose y-intercept is 5 and x-intercept is 10.

It is  y = -0.5*(x-10).


 
  

   




Figure. Line y = -0.5*(x-10).
