Draw a diagram to show the circle and the tangent at the point (2, 4) labelling this P. Draw the radius from the centre of the circle to P. The tangent will have an equation in the form \(y = mx + c\) ...

Any point P with coordinates (\(x,~y\)) on the circumference of a circle can be joined to the centre (0, 0) by a straight line that forms the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle with sides of ...
