*A circle is drawn on a coordinate plane. If a line is drawn

[anuj_sharma63]

A circle is drawn on a coordinate plane. If a line is drawn through the origin and the center of that circle, is the line’s slope less than 1?

(1) No point on the circle has a negative x-coordinate.

(2) The circle intersects the x-axis at two different positive coordinates

Please answer in detail.

Please read the forum rules: read-before-you-post-general-verbal-folder-guidelines-t2718.html

You can't post problems in this folder without giving the original source of the problem -- i.e., the company or author that first produced the problem (= not a forum or other secondhand source).
If you don't know the original source, then i'm sorry, but you can't post the problem here.

This rule applies to MGMAT problems as well. There are over three thousand problems in our database, so we can't possibly recognize all of them.
(This is also the wrong folder for MGMAT problems, which belong in the MGMAT CAT or MGMAT non-CAT folder.)

We'll have to kill this thread within a week if the original source of the problem is not posted.

Thanks.

Also, please post what you've been able to accomplish with the problem. What did you figure out? Where did you get stuck? What didn't you understand? Etc.

Please don't just post a problem. Essentially all problems come with detailed answer keys, so, if you're looking for a complete solution, you should be able to look at the key.

Thanks.
