The two tangent lines for each circle are the same length. Set the equations to equal and solve for x.
1. 4x + 3 = 3x +12
Subtract 3x from each side:
x +3 = 12
Subtract 3 from both sides:
x = 9
2. -2 + x = 2x -7
Subtract 2x from both sides:
-2 - x = -7
Add 2 to each side:
-x = -5
Multiply both sides by -1:
x = 5
Answer:
i need points
Step-by-step explanation:
i need points lol ,, hope you find your answer i guess .
Use the points to find the equations of both your lines.
By using the formula for finding slope where: m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
Your first equation is y = -2x+4
Your second equation is y = -2x+7
Normally you want to set these equal to each other and see where they are equal... however, as you can clearly see, these two equations are parallel. Parallel equations don't intersect, which would mean your answer is A, no solutions.
