  1. The point \(A\) has coordinates ( 4,6 ).
Given that \(O A\), where \(O\) is the origin, is a diameter of circle \(C\),
  1. find an equation for \(C\). Circle \(C\) crosses the \(x\)-axis at \(O\) and at the point \(B\).
  2. Find the coordinates of \(B\).
  3. Find an equation for the tangent to \(C\) at \(B\), giving your answer in the form \(a x + b y = c\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are integers.
