  1. The circle \(C\) has equation
$$x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } + 4 x + p y + 123 = 0$$ where \(p\) is a constant. Given that the point \(( 1,16 )\) lies on \(C\),
  1. find
    1. the value of \(p\),
    2. the coordinates of the centre of \(C\),
    3. the radius of \(C\).
  2. Find an equation of the tangent to \(C\) at the point ( 1,16 ), giving your answer in the form \(a x + b y + c = 0\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are integers to be found. \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{de511cb3-35c7-4225-b459-a136b6304b78-31_33_19_2668_1896}
