Graph the line containing the point P and having slope m.
Find the length of the line segment. Assume that the endpoints of each line segment have integer coordinates.

The tangent line to a circle may be defined as the line that intersects the circle in a single point, called the point of tangency. See the figure.

If the equation of the circle is and the equation of the tangent line is y = mx + b, show that:
(a)
[Hint: The quadratic equation has exactly one solution.]
(b) The point of tangency is .
(c) The tangent line is perpendicular to the line containing the center of the circle and the point of tangency.
In Problem 17-36, solve each equation algebraically. Verify your solution using a graphing utility.
An equilateral triangle is one in which all three sides are of equal length. If two vertices of an equilateral triangle are (0, 4) and (0, 0), find the third vertex. How many of these triangles are possible?
