    Re: Prove algebraically- the values of k that do no intersect the circle

    Hi studenthelp10,
    Try this
    1. graph the circle and the tangents to it from (0,7)
    2. determine the angle which describes k the slope of tangents plus and minus
    3. calculate k. all values of absolute slope (+,-) produce lines thatdo not intersect the circle slopes less than k
