\end{figure} Figure 4 shows a sketch of a circle \(C\) with centre \(N ( 7,4 )\)
The line \(l\) with equation \(y = \frac { 1 } { 3 } x\) is a tangent to \(C\) at the point \(P\).
Find
  1. the equation of line \(P N\) in the form \(y = m x + c\), where \(m\) and \(c\) are constants,
  2. an equation for \(C\). The line with equation \(y = \frac { 1 } { 3 } x + k\), where \(k\) is a non-zero constant, is also a tangent to \(C\).
  3. Find the value of \(k\).
