The total number of common tangents that can be drawn to the circles is 2.

<h3>What is a tangent?</h3>

A tangent serves as line that touches the circle at a single point whereby the point where tangent meets the circle is the tangency.

A tangent to a circle can be described as the straight line that touches the circle at only one point.

Therefore, from the definition, The total number of common tangents that can be drawn to the circles is 2.

Which equation represents a line that intersects the line 2y − 4x = 3? A.-2y + 4x = 1 B. 3y − 6x = 6.5 C. y − 2x = 3 D. -2y − 4x

irga5000 [103]

Convert all the equations to slope-intercept form:
$2y-4x=3 \ \ \ |+4x \\
2y=4x+3 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\
y=2x+\frac{3}{2}$

$A. \\
-2y+4x=1 \ \ \ |-4x \\
-2y=-4x+1 \ \ \ |\div (-2) \\
y=2x-\frac{1}{2} \\ \\
B. \\
3y-6x=6.5 \ \ \ |+6x \\
3y=6x+6.5 \ \ \ |\div 3 \\
y=2x+\frac{13}{6}$

$C. \\
y-2x=3 \ \ \ |+2x \\
y=2x+3 \\ \\
D. \\ 
-2y-4x=3 \ \ \ |+4x \\
-2y=4x+3 \ \ \ |\div (-2) \\
y=-2x-\frac{3}{2}$

Lines A, B and C have the same slope as the line 2y-4x=3, so they are parallel and don't intersect it.
Line D has another slope, so it intersects the line 2y-4x=3.
The answer is D.
