10 The points \(D , E\) and \(F\) have coordinates \(( - 2,0 ) , ( 0 , - 1 )\) and \(( 2,3 )\) respectively.
  1. Calculate the gradient of \(D E\).
  2. Find the equation of the line through \(F\), parallel to \(D E\), giving your answer in the form \(a x + b y + c = 0\).
  3. By calculating the gradient of \(E F\), show that \(D E F\) is a right-angled triangle.
  4. Calculate the length of \(D F\).
  5. Use the results of parts (iii) and (iv) to show that the circle which passes through \(D , E\) and \(F\) has equation \(x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } - 3 y - 4 = 0\).
