Given parameters:
First point = (12, -5)
Second point = (10, -4)
Unknown:
Slope of the line = ?
Slope is simply the vertical rise divided by the horizontal distance.
Slope =
Simply to find slope;
Slope =
First point = (12, -5), x₁ = 12 and y₁ = -5
Second point = (10, -4), x₂ = 10 and y₂ = -4
Input the parameters:
Slope =
=
= -
The slope of the line is -
<u>Given</u>:
Given that the circle with center O.
The radius of the circle is OB.
The chord of the circle O is PQ and the length of PQ is 12 cm.
We need to determine the length of the segment PA.
<u>Length of the segment PA:</u>
We know that, "if a radius is perpendicular to the chord, then it bisects the chord and its arc".
Thus, we have;
Substituting the value PQ = 12, we get;
Thus, the length of the segment PA is 6 cm.
Hence, Option d is the correct answer.
