Answer:

x = 5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the theorem  which states that the lengths of 2  tangents to a circle from one  point outside of the circle are equal.

Therefore, as you see from the diagram,  the lengths of the 2  tangents containing the 2 parts of the line x must be equal to 2 and 3 units.

So x = 2 + 3 = 5 units (answer).

Which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4)? Select t
nignag [31]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

On the other hand we have that if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1. So:

m_ {1} * m_ {2} = - 1

The given line is:

5x-2y = -6\\-2y = -6-5x\\2y = 5x + 6\\y = \frac {5} {2} x + \frac {6} {2}\\y = \frac {5} {2} x + 3

So we have:

m_ {1} = \frac {5} {2}

We find m_ {2}:m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {\frac {5} {2}}\\m = - \frac {2} {5}

So, a line perpendicular to the one given is of the form:

y = - \frac {2} {5} x + b

We substitute the given point to find "b":

-4 = - \frac {2} {5} (5) + b\\-4 = -2 + b\\-4 + 2 = b\\b = -2

Finally we have:

y = - \frac {2} {5} x-2

In point-slope form we have:

y - (- 4) = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)\\y + 4 = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)

ANswer:

y = - \frac {2} {5} x-2\\y + 4 = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)
