Answer:
They would never intersect because they are parallel lines. You can tell they are parallel lines because they have the same slope and they have a different y-intercept. However, this doesn't mean that there was no solutions, there were, thats how i was able to tell what their slopes and y-intercepts were. So if there is an answer that you can choose from that explains that they won't intersect because they are parallel then that is the correct answer. It may be C, but I would see if there is another option.
Answer:
- <em><u>5.6875 in</u></em>
Explanation:
At the point of tangency, the <em>tangent </em>to a circle and the <em>radius</em> form a right triangle (the radius is perpendicular to the tangent).
Here you are given the length of the tangent (6in), and the distance from the bisected vertex to the circle (2.75 in)
I tried to upload the drawing but the tool is not allowing it now.
In the figure:
- The length of the tangent (6 in) is one leg of the triangle
- The distance from vertex and the circle (2.75in) along with the radius forms the hypotenuse of the right triangle: 2.75 + r.
- The other leg is the radius, r.
Then, you can use Pythagorean theorem:
Solve:
- r² + 36 = r² + 5.5r + 7.5625
The solution is in inches: r = 5.6875 inches ← answer
Answer:
im kind of rusty on this math but i think the equation would be y=-5x+b i forgot how to find b tho :( im sorry
