Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
If the line was a tangent, it would be perpendicular to the radius of the circle - hence there would be a 90 angle between them. Therefore we would be able to apply the Pythagorean theorem ([tex]a^2 + b^2=c^2[/tex]) to determine the side lengths of a triangle that would be valid. In order for the line to be a tangent so you would say that:
[tex]3^2+9^2=90[/tex]
[tex]12^2 = 144[/tex]
[tex]90\neq 144[/tex]
so this must not be the case.
