through the points (3, −2) and (−2, 0).
4. Find the equation of the tangents to the circle 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 2𝑥 + 8𝑦 = 23 drawn from an external
point (8, −3).
5. Find the equation of the circle whose centre is (−4, 2) and having the line 𝑥 − 𝑦 = 3 as a
tangent.
6. Find the equation of the circle through the points of intersection of two given circles
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 8𝑥 − 2𝑦 + 7 = 0 and 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 4𝑥 + 10𝑦 + 8 = 0 and passing through (3, −3).
7. Find the length of the tangent drawn from the point (3, 2) to the circle
4𝑥 2 + 4𝑦 2 + 4𝑥 + 16𝑦 + 13 = 0.
9. A circle touches the line 𝑦 = 𝑥 at a point P such that 𝑂𝑃 = 4√2, where O is the origin. The circle
contains the point (−10, 2) in its interior and the length of its chord on the line 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 0 is
6√2. Determine the equation of the circle.
