Answer:

MP = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the lengths MP, NP, OP is the radius of the incircle, so they are all congruent.

3x +14 = 9x -34

48 = 6x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 34-3x to both sides

24 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2 (we don't need x; we need 3x or 9x)

NP = 3x +14 = 24 +14 = 38

NP = OP = MP = 38

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

<h2>Solving Equations</h2>

To solve linear equations, we must perform inverse operations on both sides of the equal sign to <em>cancel values out</em>.

If something is being added to x, subtract it from both sides.
If something is being subtracted from x, add it on both sides.
Same with multiplication and division. If x is being divided, multiply. If x is being multiplied, divide.

We perform inverse operations to<em> combine like terms</em>. This means to get x to one side and everything else on the other.
