The circle equation
Where Center = , radius =
The circle equation is
Find the line perpendicular to the tangent line and passes through
Compare it to the slope intercept form of a lie
Where is slope and
is
intercept.
The line is parallel to the x - axis.
Horizontal line slope
Therefore, the perpendicular line is parallel to y - axis.
Slope of the vertical line is undefined.
The line perpendicular to the tangent line
Find the point of intersection of and
The lines are intersecting at
The distance between the and
is radius of the circle.
Substitute in equation (1).
The circle equation is
