A tangent to a circle 2014-12-22
From azman:
Find the equation of the tangent line to the circle x^2+y^2=9 at the point P (2, square root of 5).

A circle which is tangent to two perpendicular lines 2014-03-09
From MJ:
I'm a College Student taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education on Math Subject. And I'm struggling for my research about Circles. I done solving the said topic particularly on this question:

"What are the possible equations of a circle being tangent to a pair of perpendicular lines, having the origin as the Point of Intersection and the C (h, k), where h, k ∈ℤ"

But I can't get what would be the process that I must do in order to jive to my idea/goal for that problem.
Please check my idea that the numerical coefficients of the equation is equal to the radius of the circle. Thanks in advance! :)
