Answer:

[tex]y=-x+r[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The tangency point on the x-axis is  (r,0)

The tangency point on the y-axis is  (0,r)

Find the slope of the line containing the points of tangency

[tex]m=\frac{0-r}{r-0}=-1[/tex]

Remember that the equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where

m is the slope

b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept

In this problem we have

[tex]m=-1[/tex]

[tex]b=r[/tex]

substitute

[tex]y=-x+r[/tex]
