Simplifying
3a + 2b + c = 26
Solving
3a + 2b + c = 26
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2b' to each side of the equation.
3a + 2b + -2b + c = 26 + -2b
Combine like terms: 2b + -2b = 0
3a + 0 + c = 26 + -2b
3a + c = 26 + -2b
Add '-1c' to each side of the equation.
3a + c + -1c = 26 + -2b + -1c
Combine like terms: c + -1c = 0
3a + 0 = 26 + -2b + -1c
3a = 26 + -2b + -1c
Divide each side by '3'.
a = 8.666666667 + -0.6666666667b + -0.3333333333c
Simplifying
a = 8.666666667 + -0.6666666667b + -0.3333333333c
The <em>correct answer</em> is:
A) A tangent is never a secant.
Explanation:
A tangent is a line that touches a circle in exactly one point. A secant is a line that touches a circle in two different points.
Since a tangent only touches once and a secant touches twice, there is no way a tangent can be a secant.
I personally use y2-y1 over x2-x1 because it's simple. Plot two y values and two x values. The first ones you plotted are x1 and y1, the others are x2 y2. Now subtract y2-y1 and x2-x1. Afterwards, divide the y value by the x value, that will give you slope.
Think of the "of" as a multiplication sign:
(.15)(12)= 1.8 meters
