Question 54204: Find coefficients a, b, c, and d so that the curve shown in Figure Ex-26 (text page 22) is given by the equation ax^2 + ay^2 + bx + cy + d = 0.(Three points: (4, -3), (-4, 5), (-2, 7))
The answer I got was:
Therefore, the coefficients in the equation for this curve would be as follows:
a = a, b = -2a, c = -4a, and d = -29a, where a is any real number.
Is that possible?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find coefficients a, b, c, and d so that the curve shown in Figure Ex-26 (text page 22) is given by the equation ax^2 + ay^2 + bx + cy + d = 0.(Three points: (4, -3), (-4, 5), (-2, 7))
Yes, it's correct. I checked it.
