If: x +y = 7 then y = 7 -x
IF: x^2 +y^2 = 25 then x^2 +(7 -x)^2 -25 = 0
Removing brackets: x^2 +49 -14x +x^2 -25 = 0
Collecting like terms: 2x^2 -14x +24 = 0
Dividing all terms by 2: x^2 -7x +12 = 0
Factorizing: (x -3)(x -4) = 0 => x = 3 or x = 4
By substitution points of intersection are at: (3, 4) and (4, 3)
Using distance formula: length of line from (3, 4) to (4, 3) = square root of 2

What is the length of the line x -y equals 2 that spans the curve x squared - 4y squared equals 5?
The line x-y = 2 intersects with the curve x^2 -4y^2 = 5 at (2.5, 1/3) and (3, 1) and by using the distance formula its length is 5/6
What is the length of the line x -2y equals 8 that spans the curve xy equals 24 showing work?
If: x-2y = 8 and xy = 24 Then: x = 8+2y and y(8+2y) = 24 => 2y^2+8y-24 = 0 Solving the above quadratic equation: y = 2 or y = -6 Points of intersection of the line with the curve: (-4, -6) and (12, 2) Length of line: square root [(-4-12)^2 plus (-6-2)^2] = square root of 320 which is about 18 units rounded to the nearest integer
What is the definition of a tangent line?
A tangent is a line that just touches a curve at a single point and its gradient equals the rate of change of the curve at that point.
What is the length of the line y equals 5x plus 10 that meets the curve of y equals x squared plus 4 at two distinctive points?
The line of y = 5x+10 intersects with the curve of y = x2+4 at (6, 40) and (-1, 5) Length of the line is the square root of: (6--1)2+(40-5)2 = 7 times sq rt of 26 or 35.693 to three decimal places

7*sqrt(2) = 9.899 to 3 dp
What is the length of the line x -y equals 2 that spans the curve x squared - 4y squared equals 5?
The line x-y = 2 intersects with the curve x^2 -4y^2 = 5 at (2.5, 1/3) and (3, 1) and by using the distance formula its length is 5/6
What is the length of the line of y equals 17 -3x that spans the curve of y equals x squared plus 2x -7?
If you mean: y = 17-3x and y = x^2+2x-7 then the length of the line works out as 11 times square root of 10 or about 34.785 to three decimal places.
What is the length of the line x -2y equals 8 that spans the curve xy equals 24 showing work?
If: x-2y = 8 and xy = 24 Then: x = 8+2y and y(8+2y) = 24 => 2y^2+8y-24 = 0 Solving the above quadratic equation: y = 2 or y = -6 Points of intersection of the line with the curve: (-4, -6) and (12, 2) Length of line: square root [(-4-12)^2 plus (-6-2)^2] = square root of 320 which is about 18 units rounded to the nearest integer
What is the length of the line that spans the parabolas of y equals 4x squared -2x -1 and y equals -2x squared plus 3x plus 5?
If: y = 4x2-2x-1 and y = -2x2+3x+5 Then the length of the line works out as: 65/18 or 3.6111 ... recurring decimal 1
How do you calculate the length of the curve using calculus?
Do a line integral.
What is the definition of a tangent line?
A tangent is a line that just touches a curve at a single point and its gradient equals the rate of change of the curve at that point.

What is the point of cotact when the line y equals 2x plus 5 over 4 meets the curve y squared equals 10xa?
If you mean a line of y = 2x+5/4 and a curve of y^2 = 10x Then it works out that the line touches the curve at: (5/8, 5/2)
What is the value of k when y equals 3x plus 1 is a line tangent to the curve of x squared plus y squared equals k hence finding the point of contact of the line to the curve?
It is (-0.3, 0.1)
What is tangent line?
tan A = (sin A) / (cos A) tan (A)= opposite side length/adjacent side length A is an angle measurement; amount of degrees or radians. If a line is tangent to a curve, it only touches the curve at one point. looks like )| but the line is touching the curve. In a circle, the tangent line touches the circle at one point and is perpinducular to the circle's radius if it is touching that same point.
What part of the curve represents the elastic deformation of the material?
I assume you mean the curve of length against applied force (or mass) for a wire. The beginning part of the curve should be a straight line, and this is where the deformation is elastic. When the substance passes its elastic limit, the line starts to curve up.
