QUESTION 4 In the diagram, the circle centred at \( \mathrm{M}(a ; b) \) is drawn. \( \mathrm{T} \) and \( \mathrm{R}(6 ; 0) \) are the \( x \)-intercepts of the circle. A tangent is drawn to the circle at \( \mathrm{K}(5 ; 7) \). 4.1 \( \mathrm{M} \) is a point on the line \( y=x+1 \). 4.1.1 Write \( b \) in terms of \( a \). 4.1.2 Calculate the coordinates of \( \mathrm{M} \). 4.2.2 TR form \( y=m x+c \). 4.4 A horizontal line is drawn as a tangent to the circle \( \mathrm{M} \) at the point \( \mathrm{N}(c ; d) \), where \( d<0 \). 4.4.1 Write down the coordinates of \( \mathrm{N} \). 4.4.2 Determine the equation of the circle centred at \( \mathrm{N} \) and passing through \( \mathrm{T} \). Write your answer in the form \( (x-a)^{2}+(y-b)^{2}=r^{2} \). \( [20] \)

Step 1
1.1 Since M is a point on the line y=x+1, we can write b=a+1. 4.1.2 The coordinates of M can be found by substituting the coordinates of K into the equation of the circle. The equation of the circle is (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2. Substituting K(5;7) into the Show more…
