Suppose we have a circle with the equation x^2 +y^2 =25. What is the equation to the tangent to the circle at point (4,3)?
Firstly lets draw it out-Draw a line from the origin to the point. calculate the change in y over change in x =(3-0)/(4-0)=3/4Take negative reciprocal which is equal to m. Then do y-y1=m(x-x1 ) or y = mx +c to get the final answer y=-(4/3)+25/3
