You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The tangent line is perpendicular to a radius. You want to know the line's equation having slope \"1%2F4\" passing through the given center (-4,3). This is \"y-3=%281%2F4%29%28x%2B4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-3=x%2F4%2B1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=x%2F4%2B4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A point ON the circle is the intersection of \"system%28y=x%2F4%2B4%2Cand%2Cy=-4x-30%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "How far is this intersection from the center of the circle (-4,3)?
\n" ); document.write( "Distance Formula, giving this radius.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Do still need more help?
