Analytic Geometry Assignment

Here it is!

If you need a little help with this stuff here is another tutorial for you. (Important: Gradient is another word for slope. And the stuff about the area of a polygon is cool, but we don't study that in our course -- go ahead and learn it if you like!) If you think you understand this stuff take this quiz from the end of that tutorial.

Also, check out my previous post if you haven't already.

Cheers!
Mr. K.

Alright I'm stuck on the first one

Solve the equation of the line for y like this:

y = -2x + 5

Then replace the "y" in the equation of the circle with -2x + 5; like this:

(x-2)^2 + (-2x + 5 + 1)^2 = 25

Then solve for x. You'll get two answers. Use the equation of the line (y = -2x + 5) to find the corresponding y-coordionate for each x-coordinate.

ok then, that method tells me the answer but it does not tell me why that is the answer. Why would you put the y to the equation of the line.
