Circle equation: 2x^2 +2y^2 -8x -5y -1 = 0

Divide all terms by 2: x^2 +y^2 -4x -2.5y -0.5 = 0

Completing the squares: (x-2)^2 +(y-1.25)^2 = 6.0625

Center of circle: (2, 1.25)

Point of contact: (1, -1)

Slope of radius: 9/4

Slope of tangent line: -4/9

Tangent equation: y--1 = -4/9(x-1) => 9y = -4x -5

Tangent line equation in its general form: 4x+9y+5 = 0
