  1. The circle \(C\) has equation
$$x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } + 8 x - 4 y = 0$$
  1. Find
    1. the coordinates of the centre of \(C\),
    2. the exact radius of \(C\). The point \(P\) lies on \(C\).
      Given that the tangent to \(C\) at \(P\) has equation \(x + 2 y + 10 = 0\)
  2. find the coordinates of \(P\)
  3. Find the equation of the normal to \(C\) at \(P\), giving your answer in the form \(y = m x + c\) where \(m\) and \(c\) are integers to be found.
