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}

Find the equation of a line that is parallel to y = 2x + 3 and passes through (-1, -1).
drek231 [11]

Answer:

  y = 2x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is in "slope-intercept" form, where the slope is the coefficient of x, 2, and the intercept is the added constant, 3. The parallel line will have the same slope, but its constant will be different. We can find the constant by putting the given point into an equation with the constant as the unknown:

  y = 2x + b

  -1 = 2(-1) +b . . . substitute for x and y

 2 -1 = b . . . . . . add 2

  1 = b

So the equation for the parallel line is ...

  y = 2x + 1
