So if OP is a segment joining center O to point P, the MN is touching the circle on point P so it would be line MN.

Answer: Line MN

Step-by-step explanation: Line MN is tangential to the circle at point P. This means that Line MN touches the circle at exactly one point, point P without entering the circle's interior. Tangents are straight line and the point at which Line MN touches the circle is known as the point of tangency. This tangent is perpendicular to the radius of the circle at the point of tangency (point P). Tangents are also base principles to many theorems, constructions and proofs.

In still water, a boat averages 12 miles per hour. It takes the same amount of time to travel 14 miles downstream, with the curr
anyanavicka [17]
T is equal in both situations ... d = r X t   so d/r = t
c is rate of waters current

\frac{14}{12+c} = \frac{7}{12-c}
14(12 - c) = 7(12 + c)
2(12 - c) = 12 + c
24 - 2c = 12 + c
12 = 3c
4 = c     The rate of the waters current is 4 miles per hour.

Are the following lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines mean lines that have same slope but since both equations have different slopes which you can check by looking at m-value in y = mx + b. In this case m1 or first slope is -4/3 and m2 or second slope is 3/4.

Perpendicular means that both lines are reciprocal to each other. This means the perpendicular condition is or satisfies \displaystyle \large{m_1m_2 = -1 \longrightarrow m_1 = -\frac{1}{m_2} \longrightarrow m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1}}

We have m1 = -4/3 and m2 = 3/4.

Therefore, -4/3 * 3/4 = -1 thus both lines are perpendicular to each other as it satisfies m1m2 = -1 condition.

A line passes through the point (3,-8) and has a slope of 3. Write an equation in point-slope form for this line.
zepelin [54]

Answer:

y+8 = 3(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form of the equation for a line is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y- -8 = 3(x -3)

y+8 = 3(x-3)
