\end{figure} Figure 3 shows the circle \(C\) with equation $$x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } - 10 x - 8 y + 32 = 0$$ and the line \(l\) with equation $$2 y + x + 6 = 0$$
  1. Find
    1. the coordinates of the centre of \(C\),
    2. the radius of \(C\).
  2. Find the shortest distance between \(C\) and \(l\).
