Answer:

A tangent line touches a curve at one point and has the same slope as the curve at that point. A secant line intersects at 2 or more points and has a slope equal to the average rate of change between those points.

Answer:

A Tangent of a circle is found outside of the circle but touching 2 points of the circle on the outside. But a Secant is found inside the circle and it touches 2 points in the circle. A Chord can always be Secant, but a secant can not always be a chord because it may pass through the circle.

Answer:

y = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the equation 'y = 3x + ?' intersects the point (1, -2). This means that when x = 1, y = -2 in out equation above. To solve this just plug in the x and y values to get '?'.

y = 3x + ?\\-2 = 3(1) + ?\\-5 = ?

Now that we know '?' is -5, we write it back into slope intercept form, so our final answer is y = 3x - 5

Please someone help me and explain this question to me (the last question starting with a straw)
Anastasy [175]

Each straw is  4-1/8 inches long.
You have one gigantic piece of straw material, 123-3/4 inches long.
How many straws can you cut it up to make ?

 ===>                    (123-3/4)  divided by  (4-1/8)            straws.

Each one costs  $0.015  to make.
So, once you find the number of short straws you have,
multiply

===>                 (the number of short straws) x ($0.015) .

That'll tell you how much it costs to make all of them. 


Now you know how to do it on your own.
If you don't get  30 straws  and  $0.45 , please try again.
