Answer:
y = 2x -33
Step-by-step explanation:
The line segment from the center (6, 4) to the given point (16, -1) is a radius of the circle. It is perpendicular to the tangent. Hence you need to write the equation of a line through point (16, -1) that is perpendicular to the line through that point and (6, 4).
The slope of the radius is ...
... ∆y/∆x = (-1-4)/(16-6) = -5/10 = -1/2
The slope of the tangent is the negative reciprocal of that, so is ...
... m = -1/(-1/2) = 2
In point-slope form, the tangent line through (16, -1) is
... y = m(x -h) +k
... y = 2(x -16) +(-1)
Simplifying, this is ...
... y = 2x -33

So the lion weighs more than the ant right?
And we wish to figure out how much greater the lion's weight is compared to the ant's weight.
So only thing we have to do is divide.
