A tangent line touches a curve or the circumference of a circle at just 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. ]
Is calleda tangent line. Is called a tangent line
A tangent line.
It is called a tangent.
You need more than one tangent to find the equation of a parabola.
If you mean: 2x^2 +2y^2 -8x -5y -1 = 0 making contact at (1, -1) Then the tangent equation in its general form works out as: 4x+9y+5 = 0
