Hello : 
the center of this cercle is : O( 0, 0)
calculate the slope  m of the line : OA    .. A (3,-4)
m= (yA - yO) / (xA- xO) 
m = (-4-0)/(3-0)
m= -4/3
if : k the slope of the tangent : k×m = -1   (the tangent perpendiclar of : OA)
k× (-4/3) = -1
k = 3/4
an equation of this tangent is : y - (-4) = (3/4)(x-3)

What is 3d+8=2d-7 is equations
fredd [130]
3d + 8 = 2d - 7 equals d = -15.

First, 
subtract 2d from both sides. Your problem should look like: 3d + 8 - 2d = -7.
Second, simplify 3d + 8 - 2d to get d + 8. Your problem should look like: d + 8 = -7.
Third, subtract 8 from both sides. Your problem should look like: d = -7 - 8.
Fourth, simplify -7 - 8 to get -15. Your problem should look like: d = -15, which is your answer.

Hopefully this helps, I'm not exactly sure what you meant by "is equations," but this is how you solve the problem.

If x+y=4 what is x+y-6
Natalka [10]

Answer:

-2. Not really sure on this one because there is only one equation, so I think it is impossible.

Step-by-step explanation:

x=4-y

An arc of length 30 meters is formed by a central angle A on a circle of radius 15. The measure of A in degrees (to two decimal
Iteru [2.4K]
An arc of length 30 m : l = 30 m.
r = 15 m,  ∠ A = ?
Formula for the length of an arc is:
 l = r π A / 180°  ( where A is the central angle )
A = l · 180 / r π = ( 30 · 180 ) / ( 15 · 3.1415926 ) = 114.43 °
This is very close to your result.
