The equation of the circle with center (1,2) and tangent to \n" ); document.write( "x+y=1 --> y = -x + 1 (slope m = -1) \n" ); document.write( "The radius will be thru the point (1,2) and perpendicular to the line x+y=1, so the slope of that radial line will be +1 \n" ); document.write( "y-2 = x-1 \n" ); document.write( "y = x+1 is the eqn of the line thru the center and perpendicular to x+y=1. \n" ); document.write( "Find the intersection, which is the tangent point. \n" ); document.write( "x+y=1 \n" ); document.write( "x-y=-1 \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "x = 0, y = 1 --> the point (0,1) \n" ); document.write( "The radius is the distance from (0,1) to (1,2) \n" ); document.write( "r = sqrt(2) \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "(x-1)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 2 is the circle.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
