a) Show that the point B (-3,-2) lies on the
\n" ); document.write( "circle defined by x^2+y^2=13.
\n" ); document.write( "Sub -3 for x and -2 for y
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) Find an equation for the radius from the
\n" ); document.write( "origin O to point B.
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x/3
\n" ); document.write( "---------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c) Find an equation for the line that passes
\n" ); document.write( "through B and is perpendicular to OB.
\n" ); document.write( "That's a line tangent at B
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is -3/2 (the negative inverse of the slope in b) above)
\n" ); document.write( "Also, the slope of a tangent line of a circle about the Origin is
\n" ); document.write( "-x/y
\n" ); document.write( "y+2 = (-3/2)(x + 3)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
