Default Re: Equations

yah ok you're confused as well..... I could've made any "graph" I wanted but it was wayyyy to general with its definition of "symmetrical"

It could've had translational symmetry...... symmetry with respect to x-axis..... with respect to y-axis..... rotational symmetry...... across that particular plane in which those points intersect......

I really had no ****ing idea how to answer this question......

If I made a circle on a cartesian coordinate plane.... how would I figure out the radius.....???

I "could" take those two points and create a function that could be written as "symmetrical" across the y-axis.... which would appear as a quadratic function or maybe even a quartic function or something asinine like that..... but was I given enough "information" to conceptualize this problem to a particular formula (or function as what it was defined as in this question.....) this little information could be manipulated into so many "cartesian functions"....... ugh

Wait: I think I got it now..... If I find the distance between those 2 points in the 3 dimensional coordinate plane..... that new found line will create a plane that it is sitting upon.... so I can just use distance formula between those 2 points and then THAT is the radius??? (if i want to graph a circle on a cartesian coordinate plane)
