Is there a relationship between the sign positive or negative of the slope of a line and the angle the line makes with the x axis?
yes, the slope of the line is the tangent of the angle
What is the relationship between circle and diameter?
The diameter is the distance across the circle. So if you split the circle in half by drawing a line through it, the diameter would be the length of that line.
What is the difference between tangent and secant line?
The tangent line is the instantaneous rate of change at a point on a curve. The secant line crosses a curve twice at points A and B, representing the average rate of change between those two points.
What is a tangent line?
Tangent line is a graph. This graph is to gather data.
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.
What is the relationship between a tangent line and a radius in a circle?
A tangent line is always perpendicular to the radius.
What is one relationship between lines and circles?
A straight line touches the circumference of a circle only at one point and it is a tangent line
Is there a relationship between the sign positive or negative of the slope of a line and the angle the line makes with the x axis?
yes, the slope of the line is the tangent of the angle
What is the relationship between circle and diameter?
The diameter is the distance across the circle. So if you split the circle in half by drawing a line through it, the diameter would be the length of that line.
The definition of external tanget?
An external tangent is a line that is tangent to both circles but does not pass between them.
How do you construct a line tangent through a circle through a point outside the circle?
The tangent line only touches the outside of a circle at one given point. So an outside line perpendicular to the circle's diameter at 90 degrees should do.
What does tangent to the y axis mean?
Normally a straight line is a tangent to a curved line but, presumably, that relationship can be reversed. So a tangent to the y axis would be a curve that just touches the y axis but does not cross it - at least, not at the point of tangency.
Why do slope denoteb by tangent function?
The slope of a line and the tangent of the angle between the positive x-axis and the line are related because the tangent of the angle is defined as the ratio of the y-coordinate and the x-coordinate of some point on the line.
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. ]
What is the tangent of the curve?
A tangent is a line which touches, but does not cross, a curved line.
What is a tangent line?
Tangent line is a graph. This graph is to gather data.
What is the difference between tangent and secant line?
The tangent line is the instantaneous rate of change at a point on a curve. The secant line crosses a curve twice at points A and B, representing the average rate of change between those two points.
