Find the equation of the tangent to the circle \(x^2 + y^2 = 25 \) at the point (3, -4). The tangent will have an equation in the form \(y = mx + c\) so to find the equation you need to find the ...

The tangent is perpendicular to the radius which joins the centre of the circle to the point P. As the tangent is a straight line, the equation of the tangent will be of the form \(y = mx + c\).
