What is the definition of a tangent line?
A tangent is a line that just touches a curve at a single point and its gradient equals the rate of change of the curve at that point.
How many tangent lines could be draw on a straight line?
A tangent line is a line that is parallel to and intersecting a point on a curve, where the limit of the distance between two points on that curve (one of them being the point in question) and those two points also being on that line approaches zero. Since a straight line has only one slope, at all points on the line, then there can only be one tangent line to a straight line, and the tangent line is the same line as the straight line.
How do you find tangent parallel to line?
"tangent" meaning is a line or plane which touches a given curve or solid at a single point.Therefore, by definition there is no tangent to a line.if it were parallel it would not touch.if it were coincident it would touch in all places.
Tangent of a circle is what?
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at only one point.
What is a tangent in math?
A tangent is a straight line which will intersect at another line only once. Every tangent for each point will be different, because each tangent is exclusive only to one point in a graph.
What is the definition of a tangent line?
A tangent is a line that just touches a curve at a single point and its gradient equals the rate of change of the curve at that point.
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. ]

At what point is the line of y equals x -4 tangent to the curve of x squared plus y squared equals 8?
(2, -2)
What is the place where a tangent line intersects a circle?
Definition: a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the point of contact or the point of tangency. a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the (point of contact) or the **point of tangency**.
What is a tangent in math?
A tangent is a straight line which will intersect at another line only once. Every tangent for each point will be different, because each tangent is exclusive only to one point in a graph.
The point where the tangent line intersects a circle?
A tangent line touches the circumference of a circle at just one point but it does not intersect the circle.
What is the point at which the tangent intersects the circle?
The tangent line intersects the circumference of a circle at just one point.
A line which touches the circle at only one point and outside the circle?
Is calleda tangent line. Is called a tangent line
How do you draw a tangent on a point on a ciricle?
Draw a line from the center of the circle to the edge. Where this line intersects the edge draw a line 90 degrees to it. This line is the tangent at the point of intersection.
