4. The points \(P\) and \(Q\) have coordinates \(( - 11,6 )\) and \(( - 3,12 )\) respectively. Given that \(P Q\) is a diameter of the circle \(C\),
    1. find the coordinates of the centre of \(C\),
    2. find the radius of \(C\).
  1. Hence find an equation of \(C\).
  2. Find an equation of the tangent to \(C\) at the point \(Q\) giving your answer in the form \(a x + b y + c = 0\) where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are integers to be found.
