TypeCircle from diameter endpoints
DifficultyModerate -0.3 This is a straightforward multi-part question testing standard C1 circle concepts: proving a right angle using gradients (or Pythagoras), finding a circle equation from diameter endpoints using the standard formula, and finding a tangent using the radius perpendicular property. All parts follow routine procedures with no novel problem-solving required, making it slightly easier than average.

  1. Prove that angle ABC is \(90 ^ { \circ }\).
  2. Find the equation of the circle which has AC as a diameter.
  3. Find the equation of the tangent to this circle at A . Give your answer in the form \(a y = b x + c\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are integers.
