The tangents are equal length, so
.. 8x = x^2
We presume their length is not zero, so we can divide by x to get
.. 8 = 2x
.. 4 = x
Then the length of each tangent is 8*4 = 32 units.
Answer:
In Point Slope Form: y+6=4(x-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>First you have to find the points given which are:</u>
<u>Label the points x1, y1, x2, and y2</u>
- It already gives you the slope which is 4.
<u>Plot the points in the equation of Point Slope Form:</u>
<em><u>y1-y2=m(x-x1)</u></em>
<u>Simplify: y1-6=4x-4</u>
<u>It doesn't ask you to simplify but why not! </u>
The graph says it shows ...
.. A) The height of students.
This is the graph for the equation, it crosses through points (0,-8) (-2,4) (-1.6,0) and its vertex is (-2,2)
Hope this helps !!
