Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The tangency point on the x-axis is (r,0)
The tangency point on the y-axis is (0,r)
Find the slope of the line containing the points of tangency
Remember that the equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to
where
m is the slope
b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept
In this problem we have
substitute
