Question 40913: PLEASE help me with these two problems. These are on a take home test that are due TOMMOROW.
22. Use a determinant to find an equation of the line that passes through the center of the circle (x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=7 and the point (1,4).
15. Use the inverse matrix method to solve the system of linear equations.
6x-6y-5z=11
3x+6y-z=6
9x-3y+z=0

22. Use a determinant to find an equation of the line that passes through the center of the circle (x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=7 and the point (1,4).
COMPARING WITH STANDARD EQN. OF A CIRCLE
(X-H)^2+(Y-K)^2=R^2
,CENTRE IS (H,K)....THAT IS (-3,2)...(X1,Y1)
LINE JOINING THIS WITH (1,4).....(X2,Y2) IS..(Y-Y1)/(Y2-Y1)=(X-X1)/(X2-X1)
(Y-4)/(4-2)=(X-1)/(1+3)
(Y-4)4=2(X-1)
2Y-8=X-1
2Y-X-7=0

15. Use the inverse matrix method to solve the system of linear equations.
6x-6y-5z=11
3x+6y-z=6
9x-3y+z=0
SEE THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE AND TRY .IF STILL IN DIFFICULTY PLEASE COME BACK
This is a systems of equations problem and I need to
solve for x,y,z. I do not how to get any of the
variables or what steps to take to get the answers.
The problem:
2x-5y+ ___=-22
__+y+3z=10
x+___+8z=15
The underscores represents blanks or O
If this had to be an augmented matrix, how would I do
that and get those variables?
