Answer:

Slope of the line L will be -\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the theorem that tangent to a circle is always perpendicular to the radius joining center of the circle and point of tangency.

Let m_{1} is the slope of line joining center of the circle (3, 2) and point of tangency (6, 6).

And m_{2} is the slope of line L.

Then by the fact given above m_{1}\times m_{2}=-1-----(1)

Now m_{1}=\frac{y-y'}{x-x'}

m_{1}=\frac{6-2}{6-3}

m_{1}=\frac{4}{3}

Now from the equation 1

\frac{4}{3}\times m_{2}=-1

m_{2}=-\frac{3}{4}

Therefore, slope of the line L will be -\frac{3}{4}

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

16 \frac{1}{2} miles

Step-by-step explanation:

2 \frac{2}{4} + 2 \frac{3}{4} = 4 \frac{5}{4} which equals 4 + 1 \frac{1}{4} or 5 \frac{1}{4}

5 \frac{1}{4} + 3 = 8 \frac{1}{4}

she ran 8 and one-quarter miles in the first week and if she ran the same amount the second week then we can add to get the answer:

8 \frac{1}{4} +  8 \frac{1}{4} = 16 \frac{2}{4} or 16 \frac{1}{2}
