The line is a tangent to the circle,

(6, 8) touching at the point (6, 8). The

centre of the circle is (3, 5).

Use this to determine the equation

of the tangent.
(3, 5)

The line is a tangent to the circle

with centre (2, 1), touching at the
point (4, 7).
(4, 7)
Find the equation of the tangent
and hence the co-ordinates of the
point where the tangent intersects
(2, 1) P the x-axis.

The line AB is a chord which is

A bisected by the line joining the
P (6, 8) centre of the circle to the point P.
B
Find the equation of the line AB

(2, 5)
 The centre of the circle is (3, 4) and
B there is a tangent at P at the point
(5, -2).

The point B is a point on the circle

and also a point on the chord AB.
A (3, 4)
Find the equation of the tangent
and hence the equation of the
P (5, -2) chord.
