  1. Find an equation for the circle \(C\). The line \(l _ { 1 }\) is the tangent to \(C\) at the point \(P\).
  2. Find an equation for \(l _ { 1 }\), giving your answer in the form \(y = m x + c\) The line \(l _ { 2 }\), with equation \(y = x + 6\), is the tangent to \(C\) at the point \(Q\).
  3. Find the coordinates of the point \(Q\).
