Three points have coordinates A(-8, 6), B(4, 2) and C(-1, 7). The line through C perpendicular to AB intersects AB at the point P. Find the equations of the line AB and CP.

To find the equation of a line, we need; the gradient of that line and a point on that line. To find the gradient of a line, we require two points on the line which have been prov...

Given the circumference x^2 - 2x + y^2 = 3, find the position of the center P and the value of the Radius. Then find the intercepts with the y axis and the tangent to the circumference at the positive y intercept.

Find center and radiusFrom completing the quadratic:
x^2 - 2x + 1 - 1 + y^2 = 3(x-1)^2 + y^2 = 4
hence, center P(1, 0) and radius R = sqrt(4) = 2
Find y intercept
