There are two circles with center  A and D. The tangent line touches both point B and C. The given measurements are enough to solve for the missing value and the solution is shown below:
AB=9
BC=26
DC=8
Solve for the measurement of AC which the hypotenuse of legs AB and BC by Pythagorean theorem:
c²=a²+b²
c²=9²+26²
c=AC=27.51
Solve for angle of A 
sin A=26/27.51
A=70.93° 
Finally, we solve for the length of AD using SOH
sin 70.93°=AD/27.51
AD=26
The answer is 26.

Does (2, -1) make this a true statement? Why or why not?<br> 3x + 2y = 4
kvv77 [185]

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

So a coordinate pair is always set up (x,y) so you plug the x term in the coordinate pair into the x in the equation and the y term in for the y. 3×2 + 2×-1. Multiply them together and you end up with 4.

Question 8 of 10
Sliva [168]

Answer:

y = (-3/7)x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

all you need to do is plug the values into the equation! :)

since your slope is (-3/7), plug that in for m.

y = mx + b ⇒ y = (-3/7)x + b

and since your y-intercept is 2, plug that in for b.

y = (-3/7)x + b ⇒ y = (-3/7)x + 2

therefore, the line's equation in slope-intercept form is y = (-3/7)x + 2.

<em>don't worry about the parentheses, i only put them in there to separate the 7 in -3/7 from x. i'm not good at putting equations in here on brainly lol i just wanted to make sure you didn't think that it was -3 over 7x.</em>

<em />

i hope this helps! have a lovely day <3
