Let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to "improper" and then proceed,

<h3>Answer:</h3>
x = 2
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The rule for secants is that the product of segment lengths (on the same line) from the point of intersection to the points on the circle is a constant for any given point of intersection. Here, that means ...
... 3×(3+5) = 4×(4+x)
... 6 = 4+x . . . . divide by 4
... 2 = x . . . . . . subtract 4

<em>Comment on this secant relationship</em>
Expressed in this way, the relationship is true whether the point of intersection is inside the circle or outside.
The slope of the given line is found from the coefficient of x after dividing the equation by 2.
.. y = -3x +4
The given line has slope -3.
A perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this:
.. -1/(-3) = 1/3
This corresponds to your 3rd choice.
