Answer:

Explanation:

a)

First I will calculate the equation of the line that goes trough the points

C (0, 0) and (-4, 3).

y= mx + b

y = [(3-0)/ (-4 -0) ] x + 0

y = (-3/4)x →the slope of tis line is (-3/4)

The slope of line l is the negative reciprocal of (-3/4) the slop of line that goes trough points C (0, 0) and (-4, 3) because the lines are ⊥.

Slope of line l is 4/3

b)

The equation of l is

y= (4/3)x + b

for point (x= -4, y = 3) that belongs to the line l, we have

3 = (4/3) (-4) + b

3 = (-16/3) + b

3 + (16/3) = b

(9+16)/3 = b

25/3 = b

The equation of the line l in slope intercept form is :

y = (4/3)x + (25/3)

c)

The radius of circle C is the distance between C (0, 0) and (-4, 3).

d² = (x2-x1)² +(y2-y2)²

d = √(-4-0)² +(3-0)²

d = √16+ 9

d = 5 → the radius of the circle C is 5

d)

Line l intersects the y-axis at (25/3) as we previously found out.

The radius is 5.

...therefore the distance between the line l's y-intercept and the circumference of the circle is

(25/3 ) - 5 = (25 - 5·3)/3 = 10/3
