Answer:
y = 2x -33
Step-by-step explanation:
The line segment from the center (6, 4) to the given point (16, -1) is a radius of the circle. It is perpendicular to the tangent. Hence you need to write the equation of a line through point (16, -1) that is perpendicular to the line through that point and (6, 4).
The slope of the radius is ...
... ∆y/∆x = (-1-4)/(16-6) = -5/10 = -1/2
The slope of the tangent is the negative reciprocal of that, so is ...
... m = -1/(-1/2) = 2
In point-slope form, the tangent line through (16, -1) is
... y = m(x -h) +k
... y = 2(x -16) +(-1)
Simplifying, this is ...
... y = 2x -33
This is the simplest proportion i have seen.
This is how we do it:
= 
The answer surprisingly is obvious, z = 1
But we can still do cross multiplication
7z = 7
Divide by 7 to isolate z
7 and 7 cancels out
z = 1
