Analytical geometry
. Let D be the line with equation 2x+3y-1=0 and
A(-1,2) center of circle C.
Determine the coordinates of point H tangent D to the circle

Is the line D tangent to the circle in H?

Yea

You can use D to find the generic points of the line and find the distance between A and D

Like that

#

You could make the equations equal then use the derivative of circle to set it to line

#

Which would give two equations with two variables

Or maybe just use m1m2 = -1 formula to make a line in the center of the circle

Then use the distance formula

$y = \frac{1 - 2x}[3}$

#

what

#

You have [3} instead of {3} @dusty lagoon

dusty lagoon
#

Oh wait my bad

#

It's hard to see

#

$y = \frac{1-2x}{3}$

The slope is -2/3

#

The new slope should be 3/2

#

And should pass (-1, 2)

#

So

$y = \frac{3}{2}x + b$

$2 = -\frac{3}{2} + b$

$2 + \frac{3}{2} = b$

#

So our new equation is

$y = \frac{3x + 7}{2}$

Now use the following distance formula:

The distance between the line $ax + by + c = 0$ and point (d, f)

$\frac{|ad + bf + c|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$

#

Yea

#

L is new line

dusty lagoon
#

2 - 4x = 9x + 21
13x = -19
x = -19/3

#

That's it

#

Then plug it back in

Ty guys for helping me
