Graph the circle and line to decide if the line intersects and if so is it a secant or tangent
### Graphing Circles and Lines to Determine Intersection

**Objective:**
To graph a given circle and a line, then determine if they intersect. If they do intersect, also determine whether the line is a secant or tangent to the circle.

**Problem Statement:**
Graph the circle and line based on the following equations and decide if the line intersects and if so, determine if it is a secant or a tangent.

**Equations:**

1. Line: \(y - 1 = -\frac{3}{2}(x + 4)\)
2. Circle: \((x + 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 9\)

**Steps to Solve the Problem:**

1. **Rewrite the Equations:**
   - **Line Equation:**
     \[ y - 1 = -\frac{3}{2}(x + 4) \]
     Solving for y:
     \[ y = -\frac{3}{2}(x + 4) + 1 \]
     \[ y = -\frac{3}{2}x - 6 + 1 \]
     \[ y = -\frac{3}{2}x - 5 \]

   - **Circle Equation:**
     \[ (x + 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 9 \]
     This represents a circle with center at \((-2, 2)\) and radius \(3\).

2. **Graphing the Equations:**
   - **Circle:**
     - The center of the circle is \((-2, 2)\).
     - The radius is \(3\), hence the points at a distance of 3 units from \((-2, 2)\) are along the circumference of the circle.

   - **Line:**
     - The line equation \(y = -\frac{3}{2}x - 5\) will intersect the y-axis at \((0, -5)\).
     - The slope of the line is \(-\frac{3}{2}\); for every 2 units increase in x, y decreases by 3 units.

3. **Graph in Detail:**
   - The graph has an x-axis and a y-axis marked from \(-5\) to \(5\) with grid lines.
   - Plot the center of the circle at \((-
