document.write( "I don't want to be given the answer directly, I just want to know what formulas I should be using to solve this problem. I have tried using the distance formula to get the distance between (0,2) and either of the x intercepts. I tried finding the Y intercepts by replacing both X points in the circle equation, where (k,h) is the midpoint of the circle and r is the radius. I just need to figure out what the other y intercept is and I can answer the question, but I don't know how to figure it out. Please help. \n" );

Algebra.Com's Answer #193476 by richwmiller(17219)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! So what did you get when you used the distance formula? \n" ); document.write( "http://www.mathopenref.com/const3pointcircle.html \n" ); document.write( "This shows you how to do it on paper you have to do it with algebra. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
