Answer:</h2>
B. 3
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
A tangent is a line that passes through exactly one point on a circle. For any point on a circle, the radius and tangent line through that point are always perpendicular to each other making a right angle. If two triangles touch each other externally, then there will be 3 lines making right angle with radius of the circles at the point of intersection of circle and tangents. These three tangent lines are shown below. They are the black, blue and green ones.
This is a system of equations.
First, you set everything in terms of y.
Take the first equation and move set everything equal to y
y=0+2x
Since it’s 0, you don’t need to put it, so
y=2x works.
Then, you plug y=2x into the bottom equation, for the y.
-7x +3(2x)=2. You do this because now you have the same variable for both and it can be solved easily.
Then you can simplify.
-7x+3x = 2
Then combine like terms.
-4x = 2
Divide by -4 on each side.
x = -1/2
So, now that you have x, you can plug in your x-value back into the top equation.
-2(-1/2) + y = 0
Combine like terms
1+y=0
Get y by itself
y=-1
There you have it!
You can check by plugging in both values to any of the equations. We will use the top one here.
-2(-1/2) + (-1) =0
+1 + -1 = 0
It works!
So,
X= -1/2
Y= -1
