x^2+y^2=52; (-4,6)

OpenStudy (raden):

remember the formula before : x1x + y1y = r^2

OpenStudy (raden):

just plug x1=-4, y1=6, and r^2=52

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Will the given point always be on the points for the circle?

OpenStudy (raden):

not always!

OpenStudy (raden):

first, check is the point given satisfies to equation of that circle x^2 + y^2 = 52 (-4)^2 + 6^2 = 52 16 + 36 = 52 LHS = RHS so, point (-4,6) on the circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get y=(2/3)x+26/3

OpenStudy (raden):

because point(-4,6) is a point on circle so we use the formula tangen line of circle with the centre (0,0) and radius r: x1x + y1y = r^2 ur equation : -4x+6y = 52 6y = 52 + 4x y = (2/3)x + 26/3 U ARE RIGHT !
