document.write( "Question 1154276: Sketch the circle whose equation is x2 + y2 = 100. Using the same system of coordinate axes, graph the line x + 3y = 10, which should intersect the circle twice — at A = (10, 0) and at another point B in the second quadrant. Estimate the coordinates of B. Now use algebra to find them exactly. Segment AB is called a chord of the circle.
