6. The circle \(C\) has equation $$x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } + 6 x - 4 y - 14 = 0$$
  1. Find
    1. the coordinates of the centre of \(C\),
    2. the exact radius of \(C\). The line with equation \(y = k\), where \(k\) is a constant, is a tangent to \(C\).
  2. Find the possible values of \(k\). The line with equation \(y = p\), where \(p\) is a negative constant, is a chord of \(C\).
    Given that the length of this chord is 4 units,
  3. find the value of \(p\).
