From the equation of a circle?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok so you can work out the equation of the normal to a point on the circle because you know it goes through the centre and the point. The tangent is perpendicular to this so its gradient is the negative reciprocal of the normal gradient. Then you can work out the equation from that.
