Algebra.Com's Answer #567808 by josgarithmetic(39620)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The length EA can be found with Distance Formula. This will be the length of the radius. k can then be found because EA=EB.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Knowing E(2,3) is the center, according to standard form equation of a circle, \n" ); document.write( "The equation for this circle is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Part (b) is more work to solve. \n" ); document.write( "Find slope of EA. \n" ); document.write( "Form the negative reciprocal of that slope. \n" ); document.write( "The line tangent at point A and perpendicular to the segment EA can be found (its equation). \n" ); document.write( "Using this new equation, determine its y-intercept. \n" ); document.write( "I have not worked through this part completely.
