Chapter 6, Problem 12CR
Solution

To calculate: The slope of chord AC¯ and AT¯

The slope of AC and AT are 13 and 3 .

Given information: Coordinates A, T and C, are (8,6),(10,0) and (10,0) is provided in the question which will help to find the solution.

Formula: Slope = y2y1x2x1 .......... (1)

Calculation: Here, coordinates A, T and C, are (8,6),(10,0) and (10,0) , putting these values in equation (1)

Slope of AC = 618

13

Now, slope of AT = 62

3

And, here m1×m2=1

3×3=1

Since the product of the slope is “-1”,therefore, ΔCAT is right angled triangle

Conclusion: Hence, the slope of AC and AT are 13 and 3
