<p>Hi all, </p>

<p>I've just come across a math problem that is annoying me to no end! I'd really appreciate some help with the same? </p>

<p>Cheers, </p>

<p>Question: In the figure above, point M is the center of the circle. What is the slope of the segment MR? </p>

<p>(t,u) is (9,5)
Hence (t,10) is (9,10).</p>

<p>I take it that you can solve it from here easily?
(hint: m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1))</p>

<p>How is (t,u) (9,5)? </p>

<p>Sorry, I may be a little slow or maybe it’s just the test anxiety.</p>

<p>Recognize the radii!! M(5,5) is the center and (5,1) is the edge of the circle therefore 4 is the radius. You can add for to the x value of point M and get (9,5), a vertex of the triangle. From there you know point R is (9,10) then you apply the slope formula.</p>

<p>Nevermind! I figured it out! Thanks so much! :)</p>

<p>@ Yankeesfan - Thank you! I figured it out a second before you posted this! Haha! :smiley: </p>
