11 The coordinates of points \(A , B\) and \(C\) are \(A ( 5 , - 2 ) , B ( 10,3 )\) and \(C ( 2 p , p )\), where \(p\) is a constant.
  1. Given that \(A C\) and \(B C\) are equal in length, find the value of the fraction \(p\).
  2. It is now given instead that \(A C\) is perpendicular to \(B C\) and that \(p\) is an integer.
    1. Find the value of \(p\).
    2. Find the equation of the circle which passes through \(A , B\) and \(C\), giving your answer in the form \(x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } + a x + b y + c = 0\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are constants.
