Answer:
A tangent to a circle at point P with coordinates is a straight line that touches the circle at P. The tangent is perpendicular to the radius which joins the centre of the circle to the point P. As the tangent is a straight line, the equation of the tangent will be of the form y = m x + c .
General Equation
General EquationThe tangent to a circle equation x2+ y2=a2 at (a cos θ, a sin θ ) is x cos θ+y sin θ= a. The tangent to a circle equation x2+ y2=a2 for a line y = mx +c is y = mx ± a √[1+ m2]
