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.

Answer:

700$ will be saved :)

Step-by-step explanation:

So! We have 850$ right away vs 150 + 100(14). Let's see and calculate.

100 * 14 = 1400. 150 + 1400 = 1550.

Now, let's subtract 1550 and 850.

We get...

700$

What is the value of a
liraira [26]

Answer:

b = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have identified that b  ( or short leg ) = 5 brainly.com/question/23589050

In the image provided in that question the, we are told that the hypotenuse = short leg times 2

If we have identified that the short leg = 5 then the hypotenuse = 5 * 2 which is equal to 10
