To find the equation of a circle when you know the radius and centre, use the formula \({(x - a)^2} + {(y - b)^2} = {r^2}\), where \((a,b)\) represents the centre of the circle, and \(r\) is the ...

As a tangent is a straight line it is described by an equation in the form \(y - b = m(x - a)\). You need both a point and the gradient to find its equation. You are usually given the point - it's ...
