Coordinate Geometry

  1. Find equation of line through $(1,2)$ and $(3,6)$
  1. Calculate the slope (mm) of the line using the formula m=y2−y1x2−x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}.

    Given points are $(x_1, y_1) = (1,2)$ and $(x_2, y_2) = (3,6)$.
    $$
    m = \frac{6 - 2}{3 - 1} = \frac{4}{2} = 2
    $$
    
  2. Use the point-slope form of a linear equation, y−y1=m(x−x1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1).

    Using point $(1,2)$ and slope $m=2$:
    $$
    y - 2 = 2(x - 1)
    $$
    $$
    y - 2 = 2x - 2
    $$
    $$
    y = 2x - 2 + 2
    $$
    $$
    y = 2x
    $$
    The equation of the line is $\boxed{y = 2x}$.
    

    2. Find distance between (2,3)(2,3) and (6,7)(6,7)

  3. Use the distance formula, D=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2D = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}.

    Given points are $(x_1, y_1) = (2,3)$ and $(x_2, y_2) = (6,7)$.
    $$
    D = \sqrt{(6 - 2)^2 + (7 - 3)^2}
    $$
    $$
    D = \sqrt{(4)^2 + (4)^2}
    $$
    $$
    D = \sqrt{16 + 16}
    $$
    $$
    D = \sqrt{32}
    $$
    $$
    D = \sqrt{16 \times 2}
    $$
    $$
    D = 4\sqrt{2}
    $$
    The distance between the points is $\boxed{4\sqrt{2} \text{ units}}$.
    

    Circle Geometry

    1. Find equation of circle with center (0,0)(0,0), radius 5
  4. The standard equation of a circle with center (h,k)(h,k) and radius rr is (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.

    Given center $(h,k) = (0,0)$ and radius $r=5$.  
    Substitute these values into the equation:
    $$
    (x-0)^2 + (y-0)^2 = 5^2
    $$
    $$
    x^2 + y^2 = 25
    $$
    The equation of the circle is $\boxed{x^2 + y^2 = 25}$.
    

    2. State equation of tangent to x2+y2=25x^2 + y^2 = 25 at (3,4)(3,4)

  5. The equation of the circle is x2+y2=25x^2 + y^2 = 25.

    This means the center is (0,0)(0,0) and r2=25r^2 = 25.
    The point of tangency is (x1,y1)=(3,4)(x_1, y_1) = (3,4).

  6. For a circle centered at the origin, the equation of the tangent at a point (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) on the circle is given by xx1+yy1=r2x x_1 + y y_1 = r^2.

    Substitute $x_1=3$, $y_1=4$, and $r^2=25$:
    $$
    x(3) + y(4) = 25
    $$
    $$
    3x + 4y = 25
    $$
    The equation of the tangent is $\boxed{3x + 4y = 25}$.
