5 A circle with centre \(C ( 5 , - 3 )\) passes through the point \(A ( - 2,1 )\).
  1. Find the equation of the circle in the form $$( x - a ) ^ { 2 } + ( y - b ) ^ { 2 } = k$$
  2. Given that \(A B\) is a diameter of the circle, find the coordinates of the point \(B\).
  3. Find an equation of the tangent to the circle at the point \(A\), giving your answer in the form \(p x + q y + r = 0\), where \(p , q\) and \(r\) are integers.
  4. The point \(T\) lies on the tangent to the circle at \(A\) such that \(A T = 4\). Find the length of \(C T\).
