Find the equation of the line tangent to the circle at the given point.
What is the equation of the tangent (red line)?
We need to do three things: • Find the slope of the radius at the given point. • Find the slope of the tangent line at the given point. • Substitute the information that we have into the pointslope equation of a line.

Now we have a slope and a point so we will use the point slope form to write the equation of the line tangent to the circle that passes through the point (3,2).
