Question 35914: If a system of nonlinear equations contains one equation whose graph is a circle and another equation whose graph is a line, can the system have exactly one solution? If so, describe the graph of this situation... Answer by Prithwis(166) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is possible if and only if the line is a tangent of the circle.
Lines that are tnagent to a circle intersect the circle at only one point.
