A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of y:

-5b + y = 5
y = 5 + 5b

then substitute the result (5 - -5b) into the second equation:

5b + 9(5 + 5b) = -9
5b + (9 x 5) + (9 x 5b) = -9
5b + 45 + 45b = -9
5b + 45b = -9 - 45
50b = -54
b = \( \frac{-54}{50} \)
b = -1\(\frac{2}{25}\)

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.
