TypeTangent equation at a known point on circle
DifficultyModerate -0.3 This is a straightforward multi-part circle question requiring standard techniques: writing circle equation from centre/radius, finding tangent using perpendicular gradient, verifying a point on a line, and calculating triangle area. All parts are routine C1 exercises with clear methods and no problem-solving insight required, making it slightly easier than average.
Spec1.03d Circles: equation (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^21.03e Complete the square: find centre and radius of circle1.07m Tangents and normals: gradient and equations

10 A circle has centre \(C ( - 2,4 )\) and radius 5 .
  1. Find the equation of the circle, giving your answer in the form \(x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } + a x + b y + c = 0\).
  2. Show that the tangent to the circle at the point \(P ( - 5,8 )\) has equation \(3 x - 4 y + 47 = 0\).
  3. Verify that the point \(T ( 3,14 )\) lies on this tangent.
  4. Find the area of the triangle \(C P T\). \section*{THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS WRITTEN ON THIS PAGE}
