Determine whether the line is a tangent, secant, a secant that contains the diameter, or none of these. Graph the circle using your calculator or online calculator or graph paper. Then graph the line. Circle: $(x+2)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 16$ Line: $y = 2x - 4$

Step 1
The center of the circle is at (-2,0) and the radius can be found by taking the square root of the constant term on the right side of the equation (in this case, sqrt(38)). Show more…
