Houghton Mifflin: Math Graphs: Tangent Line 5 [Pdf]

Don't go off on a tangent while writing equations of tangent lines! Scholars determine the equations for tangent lines to circles. They attempt both concrete and abstract examples, such as a tangent line to the unit circle through...

You know about the tangent function, but what are tangent lines to a circle? Learners investigate properties of tangents through constructions. They determine that tangents are perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency,...

This video defines what it means for a line to be tangent to a circle. It also defines the term point of tangency and shows how the radius drawn to the point of tangency is perpendicular to the tangent line.
