\end{figure} The circle \(C\) has radius 5 and touches the \(y\)-axis at the point \(( 0,9 )\), as shown in Figure 4.
  1. Write down an equation for the circle \(C\), that is shown in Figure 4. A line through the point \(P ( 8 , - 7 )\) is a tangent to the circle \(C\) at the point \(T\).
  2. Find the length of \(P T\).
