Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
When a tangent and a secant are drawn from an external point to a circle.
Then the product of the external part of the secant and the entire secant and the square of the measure of the tangent are equal, hence
x(x + 5) = 6²
x² + 5x = 36 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
x² + 5x - 36 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 9)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 9 = 0 ⇒ x = - 9
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
However, x > 0 ⇒ x = 4
Answer:
When the distributive property is used on the right side of the equation:
6x + 3 = 6x + 9
**If you wanted to go further by combining like terms, there would no longer be an "x" and all that would be left is 6 or -6, depending on how you combined them**
Equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = -1/5 x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given slope of the line is -1/5 and the point is (-10, 9). Here m=-1/5.
⇒ y = -1/5 x + b ------ (1)
- Step 2: Find the y-intercept of the line, b. Since the line passes through (-10, 9) substitute x = -10 and y = 9 in eq(1)
⇒ 9 = -1/5 × -10 + b = 2 + b
⇒ b = 9 - 2 = 7
- Step 3: Slope intercept form of the line is y = mx + b. Form the equation using the values of m and b.
⇒ y = -1/5 x + 7
It can also be written as 5y + x = 35
