Here are the steps.

In order to get the answer, first we need to get the x and y value of the center of the circle by using the equation of a circle (x^2 + y^2 = r^2)

<span>The center is (-9, -4)</span>

Once you get the center point, find the equation of the line (in a form of a radius) from the center point to point (2, -1). Get the slope.

The slope from center to point (2, -1) is 11/3

Finally, get the negative reciprocal of the slope from the previous step and form the equation using slope-intercept form ( y=mx + b). Then, that's the equation of the tangent line.

The slope of the tangent line is -3/11
The equation is y = -3/11x - 5/11

Answer:

10.92 m

Step-by-step explanation:

  To solve for the height, we first find the area of the triangle. Since the area of a triangle is 1/2 of the base times the height, we get the area to be 109.2. Dividing it by 20 and then multiplying by 2, we get 10.92 as the height.

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

<h2>- 3(a + 4)</h2>

Solution,

3( - 2a - 4) + 3a \\  = 3 \times ( - 2a) - 3 \times 4 + 3a \\  =  - 6a - 12 + 3a \\  =  - 6a + 3a - 12 \\  =  - 3a - 12 \\  =  - 3(a + 4)

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
