From the equation, you can see that (3,-2) is the center of the circle (the terms are 0 for those x,y values). The mentioned point has the same y value as the center. That's good news, because it tells us that the tangent line is exactly vertical. The x coordinate is given as x=8. Vertical lines have an equation of x=... so x=8 is the right answer.

Answer:  the correct option is

(B) x = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:  The given equation of a circle is :

(x-3)^2+(y+2)^2=25~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

The point (8, -2) lies on the circle.

We are to select the equation of the line that is tangent to the circle at (8, -2).

We know that

the radius of a circle and the tangent to the circle at the same point of contact are perpendicular to each other.

The STANDARD equation of a circle with center at the point (h, k) and radius of length r units is given by

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2.

From equation (i), we have

(x-3)^2+(y+2)^2=25\\\\\Rightarrow (x-3)^2+(y-(-2))^2=5^2.

So, the center of the circle (i) is (3, -2).

Since the radius of the circle passes through the point (8, -2) and the center (3, -2), so the slope of the radius will be

m=\dfrac{-2-(-2)}{3-8}=\dfrac{0}{-5}=0.

So, equation of the radius passing through the point (8, -2) will be

y-(-2)=m(x-8)\\\\\rightarrow y+2=0\\\\\Rightarrow y=-2.

So, the tangent at the point (8, -2) will be of the form

x=k.

Since the tangent passes through the point (8, -2), so we get

x=8.

Thus, the required equation of the tangent line at the point (8, -2) is x = 8.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Solution:

<u>We know that:</u>

Area \ of \ triangle = \dfrac{1}{2} \times Base \times Height

<em>Since we are already given the base and the height, we can substitute them into the formula to find the area of the triangle.</em>

Area \ of \ triangle = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 18 \times24

<u>Cancel out the "2" by dividing it by 18.</u>

Area \ of \ triangle =  9 \times24

<u>Simplify the multiplication.</u>

\bold{Area \ of \ triangle =  216 \ ft^{2}}

KonstantinChe [14]

The time taken by the first and the second train is 1 hour 40 minutes and 1 hour 25 minutes. Then the time when the second train at Niles junction is 5:55 p.m.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

\rm Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}

A train leaves Thorn junction at 1:25 p.m. and arrives in Niles at 3:05 p.m. the train makes two stops along the route for a total of 15 minutes.

A second train leaves Thorn junction at 4:30 p.m. and heads to Niles.

This train does not make any stops.

Let the speed of both trains be equal.

Then the time taken by the first train will be

t₁ = 3:05 p.m. - 1:25 p.m.

t₁ = 1 hour 40 minutes

Then the time taken by the second train will be

t₂ = 1:40 - 00:15

t₂ = 1:25 = 1 hour 25 minutes

The time when the second train is at Niles junction will be

→ 4:30 p.m. + 1:25

→ 5:55 p.m.

More about the speed link is given below.
