What is the equation of the circle which is tangent to the line 3x-4y=32, and the center is at point (0,7)
@ganeshie8 pls help sir
equation of circle whose center is \((h,k)\) and radius is \(r\) : \[(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\]
@ganeshie8 what will happen next?
familiar with `point to line` distance formula ?
you may use that formula to find the `radius`, which is the distance between `center` and the `tangent line`
line : 3x-4y-32 = 0 point : (0, 7) radius = \(\large \dfrac{|3(0) - 4(7) - 32|}{\sqrt{3^2+4^2}} = ?\)
\[\frac{ 60 }{ \sqrt{25} }\]
\[\large \dfrac{|3(0) - 4(7) - 32|}{\sqrt{3^2+4^2}} = \dfrac{60}{\sqrt{25}} = \dfrac{60}{5} = 12\]
sorry divided the wrong number. xD
:) plugin center and radius in the equation of circle @Faye281 still here ?
@ganeshie8 would (x-0)^2+(y-7)^2=144
x^2+y^2-14y+49=144?
@ganeshie8 sorry. Afk
that looks good ^
@ganeshie8 sorry :( x^2+y^2-14y+49=144? is the answer? aren't we going to transfer 144 to the left equation?
