  1. The circle \(C\) has equation
$$x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } - 2 x + 14 y = 0$$ Find
  1. the coordinates of the centre of \(C\),
  2. the exact value of the radius of \(C\),
  3. the \(y\) coordinates of the points where the circle \(C\) crosses the \(y\)-axis.
  4. Find an equation of the tangent to \(C\) at the point ( 2,0 ), giving your answer in the form \(a x + b y + c = 0\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are integers.
