EQUATION OF A TANGENT LINE OF A CIRCLE

Slope of a line (𝑚) is the tangent value of the inclination line. If given two points 𝐴(𝑥1 , 𝑦1 ) and
𝐵(𝑥2 , 𝑦2 ) on the line, then the slope of the line can be determined by the formula
𝑦2 − 𝑦1
𝑚=
𝑥2 − 𝑥1
Given two lines 𝑝 and 𝑞 on Cartesian plane.
- If those lines are parallel, then the value of the slopes would be …

- If those lines are perpendicular each other, then the value of the slopes would be …

If given two points 𝐴(𝑥1 , 𝑦1 ) and 𝐵(𝑥2 , 𝑦2 ) on Cartesian plane, then the equation of a line (let’s
say 𝑝) that passing through those points can be determined by the formula.
