8 In this question you must show detailed reasoning. The lines \(y = \frac { 1 } { 2 } x\) and \(y = - \frac { 1 } { 2 } x\) are tangents to a circle at \(( 2,1 )\) and \(( - 2,1 )\) respectively. Find the equation of the circle in the form \(x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } + a x + b y + c = 0\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are constants.
