2 A circle has equation \(x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } - 8 x - 4 y = 9\).
  1. Show that the centre of this circle is \(C ( 4,2 )\) and find the radius of the circle.
  2. Show that the origin lies inside the circle.
  3. Show that AB is a diameter of the circle, where A has coordinates ( 2,7 ) and B has coordinates \(( 6 , - 3 )\).
  4. Find the equation of the tangent to the circle at A . Give your answer in the form \(y = m x + c\).
