Circle equation: x^2 +y^2 +6x -10y = 0
Completing the squares: (x +3)^2 +(y -5)^2 = 34
Center of circle: (-3, 5)
Point of contact: (0, 0)
Slope of radius: -5/3
Slope of tangent line: 3/5
Tangent line equation: y = 0.6x

Tangent
In Geometry what is the term for a line touching the circle?
tangent
What is tangent to a circle?
"Tangent" to a circle means touching the circle at one point, and only one point. Think of a skinny bicycle wheel standing on the ground. The ground is 'tangent' to the wheel.
A line touching a circle at one point?
A tangent line.
What is a secant. a tangent?
Secants are chords that go through a circle ONCE! Tangents are rays or segments with one point touching the border of a circle and nothing else.
Line touching a circle?

Line touching the circumference of a circle?
A tangent
A line that intersects a circle at exactly one point?
Such a line is called a tangent line or a tangent to the circle. [Tangent is Latin for touching-- a tangent line touches the circle at just one point. ]

A straight line touching a circle is called a tangent. The following is the image of a tangent to a circle with center C and radius AC. The tangent touches the circle at only one point - A. visit our page: balajidentalhospital .com
A secant tangent passes through the center of a circle?
Neither secant nor tangent pass through the center of a circle. A secant passes through one point on the circle and the tangent passes through two points on a circle.

A straight line touching the circumference of circle at one point is a tangent
Does a secant tangent angle pass through the center of the circle?
Neither secant nor tangent pass through the center of a circle. A secant passes through one point on the circle and the tangent passes through two points on a circle.
