12 A diameter of a circle \(C _ { 1 }\) has end-points at \(( - 3 , - 5 )\) and \(( 7,3 )\).
  1. Find an equation of the circle \(C _ { 1 }\).

  2. Find an equation of the circle \(C _ { 2 }\).
    The two circles intersect at points \(R\) and \(S\).
  3. Show that the equation of the line \(R S\) is \(y = - 2 x + 13\).
  4. Hence show that the \(x\)-coordinates of \(R\) and \(S\) satisfy the equation \(5 x ^ { 2 } - 60 x + 159 = 0\).
