Equation of circle: x^2 +y^2 -6x+4y+5 = 0
Completing the squares: (x-3)^2 +(y+2)^2 = 8
Radius of circle: square root of 8
Center of circle: (3, 2)
The tangent lines touches the circle on the x axis at: (1, 0) and (5, 0)
1st tangent equation: y = x-1
2nd tangent equation: y = -x+5
Note that the tangent line of a circle meets its radius at right angles

∙ 6y agox2 + y2 - 6x + 4x + 5 = 0 => x2 + y2 - 2x + 5 = 0 => x2 - 2x + 1 + y2 = -5 + 1 = -4It is, therefore a circle with an imaginary radius of 2i units. Are you sure?

What is the chord that passes through the centre of a circle?
The chord that passes through the center of a circle is called the diameter. The measure of this chord is also called the diameter, and is used in calculations such as finding the circumference of a circle (Circumference equals pi times the diameter).^^wrong...it is eitherSecant or tangent im pretty sure its SECANT though...
