Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
circle passing through (7,-2) and (0,-9)
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
(7-h)^2 + (-2-k)^2 = r^2
49-14h + h^2 + 4 -4k +k^2 = r^2
h^2 + 81 -18k +k^2 = r^2
49-4h -77 +18k = 0
4h-18k = -28
2h -9k =-14
h = 4.5k - 7
1st given answer has 15 and -17 for h and k
15 doesn't = 4.5(-17)-7
2nd given answer has 3 and -5 for h and k
3 doesn't equal 4.5(-5)-7
neither answer is correct
