As the tangent is a straight line, the equation of the tangent will be of the form \(y = mx + c\). We can use perpendicular gradients to find the value of \(m\), then use the coordinates of P to find ...

Any point P with coordinates (\(x, y\)) on the circumference of a circle can be joined to the centre (0, 0) by a straight line that forms the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle with sides of length ...

The tangent is defined as the single point where a straight line meets a curved surface. The tangent can be determined with a collection of mathematical formulas but is most commonly determined by ...
