<span>The point where a tangent and a circle intersect is y hope this helps</span>

A tangent is basically a line that 'just touches' a curve - i.e. it is in a place where it approaches the curve, and a single point on the line touches a single point on the curve. It's quite an awkward definition since 'just touches' means only one infinitely small part of the line touches the curve, but it's quite obvious when you see it.
For that reason, I have attached a little diagram I improvised just now to help explain it. The red dot is where they meet, and the straight line is tangential to the circle.

A shipping container will be used to transport several 140-kilogram crates across the
velikii [3]

Answer:

91.42 crates

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Greatest Number of 140kg crates = x

weight of crate = 140-kilogram

Weight of other shipment = 13200 kilograms

greatest weight of container = 26000 kilograms

Weight of other shipment + (weight of crate * number of crates) ≤ greatest weight of container

13,200 + 140x ≤ 26,000

140x ≤ 26,000 - 13,200

140x ≤ 12,800

x ≤ 12,800/140

x ≤ 91.42 kilograms

Greatest Number of 140kg crates = 91.42 crates

What is the slope of the line (2,3) (1,-2)?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: The slope is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the slope of the line with this fomula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Given the points (2,3) and (1,-2), you can identify that:

y_2=-2\\y_1=3\\x_2=1\\x_1=2

Now, the final step is to substitute these values into the formula  m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}, getting that the slope of this line is:

 m=\frac{-2-3}{1-2}

m=\frac{-5}{-1}\\\\m=5
