Geogebra file to explore the intersection of a line and a circle using coordinate geometry
How it maps to the curriculum
- SC
- Mathematics
Strand: 2. Geometry & Trigonometry
Strand unit: 2. Co-ordinate Geometry
Suggestions for use: Explore the intersection between a line (ax+by+c=0) and a circle. Adjust the value of the Radius to give the desired Circle. Then adjust the value of a, b and c to give the desired Line ax+by+c=0. Check the point(s) of intersection M and N at the bottom of the screen.
