Can you solve and explain tangents
1 answer:
Answer:
A tangent is a straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at a point, but if extended does not cross it at that point.
External Tangents: Does not intersect the segment joining the centers of the two circles.
Internal Tangents: Intersects the segment joining the centers of the two circles.

Commenter jdoe said it right: solve for y and leave the rest on the other side.
-x + 3y = 6
3y = 6 + x add x on both sides
3y = x + 6 rearrange to get the x first
y = (x + 6) /3 divide both sides by 3
y = x/3 + 6/3 split the numerator (caution - never split denominators)
y = x/3 + 2 simplify 6/3
Thus the line in slope intercept form of y = mx + b is y =
